Sun, 24 Oct 2010

New Delhi - The growing strategic partnership between India and Japan is a factor of peace, prosperity and stability in Asia and the world, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Sunday.

Singh, before embarking on a three-nation tour which includes Malaysia and Vietnam, said India's trade and economic partnership with Tokyo was set to enter a new phase.

"Japan is a major economic partner of India. We have embarked upon mega infrastructure projects with Japanese assistance which have the potential of transforming our economy," Singh said.

The prime minister also said that he expected his trip to Malaysia to lead to greater integration of the two economies and cooperation in infrastructure development, railways, knowledge industries, energy and defense.

In Vietnam, Singh is scheduled to attend the India-ASEAN summit and the East Asia summit. The Indian premier said he would hold bilateral meetings on the margin of these summits with leaders of China, Australia, South Korea, Singapore and Vietnam.
