Indo-Japanese Friendship

On  the occasion of 65th Republic Day celebrations a new beginning  was made in the relationship between India and Japan and a new dimension was given to India's Looking towards East policy when Japanese PM became chief guest.  Among many agreements, Japan  was given responsibility to create infrastructural facilities in North Eastern States. It is a new policy measure to check growing influence of China in Asia. It is also a tit for tat  policy for both China and Pakistan  for their alleged interference in Pak occupied Kashmir in the name of building roads.
With Japan having irritating relationship with China in recent times on issues of islands in East China sea , it and  finds India as a reliable friend in controlling growing Chines hegemony in Asia.

So India has gained double adged advantage on this Republic Day-- required economic cooperation at critical time and development of the infrastructure in North East areas , a  long pending security solution .China considers that this region is disputed but this step  will give strength to  India's look east policy.

So this is a beginning of a friendship in need as in recent times Japanese Yen is losing its shine and Indian trade balance is in need a new support. Japan can also help in nuclear power programme by supplying enriched uranium. Let hope that this friendship goes in long way in serving people in both the countries. In longer perspectives this new tie between India and Japan will serve as a bridge between US India and Japan.Indias' s decision to recognise Japan as normal nation for its military purchases will further strenthened role of Japan in military modernisation of India as it goes beyond a normal practice of buying arms from Western world.And Japan open door policy for Indian products will give a boost to foreign trade.Development of road transpot system between India Myamar and Thailand will create new bond in bilateral ties.
