Japan, India boost strategic partnership

Ha Noi (VNA) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh have adopted a ''road map'' for stronger bilateral ties.

The signing of a joint statement on the road map was made in India after August 22 talks between the two prime ministers. The road map adopted is designed to realise the strategic and global partnership the two leaders agreed on during PM Singh’s Tokyo visit last December.

The two leaders also signed agreements on environmental protection and energy security.

They called for wrapping up negotiations on a bilateral free trade agreement as soon as possible, and agreed to work toward doubling bilateral trade to 20 billion USD over the coming three years.

Japan is the fifth largest investor in India with its total investment to the country since 1991 reaching 2.58 billion USD. The number is expected to surge to 5 billion USD within the next three years.-Enditem
