Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi travels to Japan this weekend to boost ties between Asia’s second- and third-biggest economies, both of which are embroiled in territorial disputes with an increasingly assertive China.
Modi, 63, is leading a delegation of executives, including Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, on a four-day visit. Modi will discuss ways to boost economic, defense and energy cooperation with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, according to an Indian foreign ministry official who asked not to be identified because he’s not authorized to speak with the media.
