Narayanan begins three-day Japan visit

New Delhi, Oct 18 (PTI) India's National Security
Adviser M K Narayanan Sunday began a three-day visit to Japan
during which he will meet the new Prime Minister Yukio
Hatoyama and other leaders.

Narayanan's visit is mainly aimed at establishing
contact with the new government of Democratic Party of Japan
(DPJ) which came to power on September 16 after getting a
landslide victory in the August 30 elections.

Narayanan, who will also meet Foreign Minister Katsuya
Okada, will review bilateral ties with the Japanese leadership
and discuss future prospects. During the previous government
in Japan, the two countries had signed a strategic and global
partnership to boost their ties, particularly in trade,
investment and security issues.

During the visit, the two sides are also expected to
discuss details related to the first visit by Hatoyama to
India for the annual bilateral summit.

About a week after Hatoyama took over, Singh met him
in Pittsburgh on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit and
discussed issues like the progress in the ambitious
Japan-aided Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor. PTI AKK
