Japan PM arrives in India

(11 Dec 2015) Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in New Delhi on Friday on a visit that his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi hopes will be a major step in transforming India into an economic powerhouse. India is seeking Japan's help in building bullet trains, "smart cities" and accessing nuclear technology. Japan and India are set to sign a 15 billion US dollar agreement for a high-speed train linking the Indian financial hub of Mumbai with Ahmadabad, the commercial capital of Modi's home state, Gujarat. For Japan, still smarting from losing out to China over a similar agreement in Indonesia, firming up the Indian deal was crucial. Tokyo has promised technical and financial support to New Delhi for the project, including a low-interest 50-year Japanese loan. The deal would benefit Japanese companies with contracts for manufacturing rail cars, tracks and operating systems. Other major priorities during Abe's three-day visit include discussions on a civil nuclear agreement, military purchases for India's armed forces and Japanese aid to upgrade India's creaking infrastructure.
