Japan coordinating Modi's visit in July

The new Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to visit Japan in July. He is apparently trying to emphasize the importance he places on bilateral relations.
India's Foreign Ministry on Friday announced that arrangements are underway for Modi to visit Japan to hold talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Modi took office on May 26th as he led his Bharatiya Janata Party to a sweeping victory in recent parliamentary elections and realized India's first change of power in a decade.

The new prime minister plans to visit neighboring Bhutan at the end of June. The Foreign Ministry says Japan is likely to be Modi's second foreign destination.

Modi has pledged to revitalize India's economy. He has attached importance to developing economic ties with Japan to promote more investment to his country.

Meanwhile, the Japanese government is set to deepen economic and security cooperation with India in the face of China's increasing maritime activities in the East and South China Seas.
