The Quad alliance includes India, Japan, Australia, and the U.S.
The summit is expected to focus on enhancing critical mineral partnerships between the two countries. The exact role of the Quad alliance in the expanded cooperation being discussed is not clear.
Indian Prime Minister Modi visited Tokyo on August 29th and 30th for the two-day summit. The primary aim of Modi's visit was to strengthen strategic and economic ties with Japan. The nature of these ties and the specific areas of investment have not been detailed.
The discussion between Modi and Ishiba reflects shared interests in economic growth and strategic stability. The enhancing of critical mineral partnerships and Japanese investment in high-value manufacturing sectors in India may also be a part of the expanded cooperation being discussed.
