India and Japan would hold the first economic dialogue between them on Monday, a move which reflects increasing trade ties between the two countries. Both would also hold a series of talks to deepen strategic, economic and political ties. While the first India-Japan ministerial-level economic dialogue would focus on boosting trade and economic relations, the 6th annual strategic dialogue between the two are expected to discuss civil nuclear cooperation, maritime security and regional security architecture.
About 4,000 people, including delegates from different countries, economists, investment bankers, corporate leaders, Nobel laureates, civil society and media are expected to participate in the event at Greater Noida. A finance ministry statement said given the size and scope of the event, the government had invited industry bodies—CII, Assocham and Ficci —to be partners for the event.
