India-Japan Defence Cooperation on Agenda as Koizumi Meets Rajnath

India and Japan are good friends who like to work together to keep the ocean safe.

The defence leaders of both countries will meet in New Delhi on August 20 to talk about working together more.

Before that, the Japanese defence minister will visit a naval base in Mumbai.

The two countries are building a special antenna called UNICORN that helps navy ships hide better.

They also plan to hold an air exercise in September, where Japanese fighter planes will come to India.

Later this year, both navies will join a big exercise called Malabar with the United States and Australia.

The two countries want to keep the Indo-Pacific region free and open.

They also talk about cyber security, space, and new military technology.

This helps keep important sea routes safe and protects the region.
