Japan PM Kishida likely to unveil 'Indo-Pacific Plan for Peace' during visit to India

New Delhi, Mar 18 (PTI) Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to unveil his plan for a "free and open Indo-Pacific" with a focus on India's increasingly significant role in the region during his visit to New Delhi on Monday.

The evolving situation in the Indo-Pacific in the backdrop of China's rising military assertiveness is also likely to figure in wide-ranging talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Kishida.

The Japanese prime minister is scheduled to arrive on Monday morning on an around 27-hour-long visit to New Delhi with an aim to further expand bilateral ties in a range of areas including defence and security, trade and investment and high technology.
