INDIA UPDATE: JILTED LOVER CHINA SOUR OVER JAPAN & INDIAS COUPLE TAG... G.M ;))) ♥ Don’t be afraid of death, be afraid of an unlived life.... - Sandhiya Mehta ● Tokyo sees India as important to its own economic-revival strategy, India looks at Japan as a critical source of capital and commercial technology and a key partner to help upgrade its manufacturing and infrastructure.India — the biggest recipient of Japan’s Official Development Assistance, which is currently funding more than 60 Indian infrastructure projects — has become the largest destination for Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) among major industrialized nations.

Abe and Modi, however, wish to turn this blossoming partnership into a defining element in Asia’s strategic landscape so that Japan and India serve as key anchors of a stable regional power balance.... ■ Global Indian Hindu Nationalists, CORPORATE CZARS Publications, globalindianleaders.in
