Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi are meeting for summit-level talks during Takaichi's first official visit to India.

The visit aims to deepen the Special Strategic and Global Partnership between the two nations. Strengthening supply-chain resilience for critical goods remains a primary objective for both governments.

Prime Minister Takaichi is conducting a three-day visit [1]. The leaders are scheduled to discuss trade, investment, defense, energy security, and technology. A significant portion of the agenda focuses on cooperation within the Indo-Pacific region.

Reports on the specific timing and location of the summit vary. Some sources said the talks were likely to be held in Guwahati, Assam, on July 1, 2026 [1]. Other reports said that the summit-level talks will take place in New Delhi, with a meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 2, 2026 [2, 3].

This meeting is part of the India-Japan Annual Summit. The discussions are expected to address the economic integration of the two powers, and the stability of regional maritime security.

The diplomatic engagement follows a period of increased cooperation on critical minerals and semiconductor technology. Both leaders are expected to review the progress of ongoing infrastructure projects funded by Japanese investment in India.

“The visit aims to deepen the Special Strategic and Global Partnership between the two nations.”

The meeting between Modi and Takaichi signals a continued effort to align the security and economic interests of India and Japan. By focusing on supply-chain resilience and Indo-Pacific cooperation, both nations are likely seeking to reduce dependence on single-source suppliers and create a more robust strategic counterweight in the region.
