In the economic field, the Japanese and Indian foreign ministers agreed to strengthen cooperation, including steadily promoting the high-speed rail project, the flagship project between Japan and India.

Exchanging views on regional situations such as the Indo-Pacific region and Security Council reform, the two ministers also stressed that it is important to maintain and strengthen a free and open international order based on the rule of law, and affirmed that Japan and India will continue to make further efforts to address issues facing the international community.
