The second India-Japan 2+2 dialogue was held in Tokyo, Japan on September 8, 2022.
The meeting is in line with the Special Strategic and Global Partnership between India and Japan
During the 2+2 meeting, the Ministers will review the bilateral cooperation and explore new initiatives to further strengthen the engagements between the two countries. They will also exchange views on regional and global issues of mutual interest, the Ministry of Defence said on Monday (August 19, 2024).
On the sidelines of the 2+2 dialogue, a bilateral meeting will be held between the Indian Defence Minister and his Japanese counterpart on the sidelines of the 2+2 dialogue.
India and Japan share a 'Special Strategic and Global Partnership' which is now in its 10th year and is based on the shared values of democracy, freedom and rule of law.
"Defence has emerged as one of the most important pillars in this relationship. Strengthened India-Japan defence partnership is vital for ensuring a free, open, inclusive and prosperous Indo-Pacific in the prevailing global environment," the Ministry of Defence said. This visit will further deepen defence cooperation and bring greater depth to the Special Strategic and Global Partnership between the two countries, the ministry added.
The second India-Japan 2+2 dialogue was held in Tokyo, Japan in September 2022 while the inaugural India-Japan Foreign and Defence Ministerial Dialogue (2+2) was held in New Delhi in November 2019.
The framework for these talks was instituted after the decision taken by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and then Japanese Prime Minister, the late Shinzo Abe, during the 13th India-Japan Annual Summit held in Japan in October 2018. The objective of the Foreign and Defence Ministerial Dialogue is to further deepen bilateral security and defence cooperation.
