The 12th Indo-Japan summit, being held outside Delhi for the first time, will showcase significance of the partnership. China’s aggression is a common challenge for both the countries and Japan’s P.M’s visit in the back-drop of India’s standoff with China over Doklam may speed up expansion of Indo-Japan strategic Partnership.

Japan was the only country that has voiced its concern over Chinese actions in Doklam, finding common cause of back drop of china’s attempts to change status quo on the Senkaku Islands. Two P.M’s are expected to emphasis the need for countries to abide international law and global norms amid growing threats from North Korea too.
