    What are the challenges in India-Japan relations? EAM Jaishankar explains

    At the India-Japan Forum Inaugural Session Conversation in New Delhi, EAM Jaishankar explained three challenges in the India-Japan relationship. EAM Dr S Jaishankar said, “We've never had problems between India and Japan but not having problems doesn't mean everything works well. I would say how do you take good sentiment and make it into a practical plan. When I look today at the kind of spike in Indian tourists...our passport issuer is going up actually at the rate of almost 10 to 15% a year. We are issuing between about 13 million to 15 million passports every year and these are 10-year validities. In this country, foreign travel is growing and interest in foreign tourism is growing but we haven't yet seen any of this directed at Japan. If you look at Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Gulf, Europe, Indian tourists are really going there in very large numbers.”
