During the latest summit, the two leaders reaffirmed cooperation in creating an environment conducive to innovation.

India also possesses a large pool of science and engineering talent.

In a separate joint statement on AI, the two governments confirmed a goal of bringing 500 Indian AI specialists to Japan by 2030 to promote joint research.

India reportedly churns out approximately 1.5 million engineering graduates every year, but many degree holders struggle to find stable employment.

For young people seeking opportunities to utilise their technical education, Japan, where labor shortages persist, is becoming an option.

“India is no longer a country to which Japan simply provides technology,” said a Japanese Foreign Ministry senior official. “Now, we must create mechanisms that ensure Japan is not left behind.”
