日印首脳が会談

　【ファサーノ時事】イタリア訪問中の岸田文雄首相は１４日（日本時間１５日）、インドのモディ首相と会談した。日印首脳は相手国を相互訪問する「シャトル外交」を続けており、モディ首相の年内来日に向けて調整を進めることで一致した。
　モディ首相が率いる与党連合が今月開票の下院総選挙で勝利してから、両首脳の会談は初めて。岸田首相は、両国を「特別戦略的グローバル・パートナーシップ」に格上げしてから１０年になることを踏まえ、「関係を多様化、深化させたい」と伝えた。（2024/06/15-07:49）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, agreed Friday to work on setting up a visit to Japan by Modi within this year.
   Modi's possible visit would come as part of the two countries' program in which their leaders visit each other's country alternately.
   The two leaders met on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Puglia, southern Italy. India, which is not a G-7 member, was invited to the summit. The G-7 groups Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States plus the European Union.
   The Kishida-Modi meeting was the first since the Modi-led ruling bloc's victory in the Indian lower house general election whose outcomes were made available earlier his month.
   Noting that this year marks the 10th anniversary of Japan and India upgrading their relations to a special strategic global partnership, Kishida said he hopes to deepen and diversify the bilateral ties.
