HAMBURG: Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the G20 Summit and reviewed progress in bilateral ties as the two nations geared up for the Malabar naval exercise amid China’s growing military assertiveness in the disputed South and East China seas.
The meeting between the two leaders comes months after the two nations inked a civil nuclear cooperation agreement.
“The two leaders briefly reviewed progress in bilateral relations, including in important projects, since their last meeting in Japan during Prime Minister’s visit in November 2016,” a statement said.
Prime Minister Modi also expressed satisfaction at developments in bilateral relations since then. (AGENCIES)
