India cozies up to Japan and ignores China - realignment of world forces

#NarendraModi #ShinzoAbe #bullettrain #ModiAbeInKashi By agreeing to Japan's participation in the bullet train project, India has sent a clear signal to China that it does not feature in India's scheme of things. In fact, India has indicated that it would partner Japan, America and Australia in their efforts to achieve a "balanced" regional architecture in the Asia Pacific.
This is seen as a clear message to its neighbor China and is the first time that Delhi has so clearly defined its role in partnering Beijing's rivals in its neighborhood.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 12 December 2015.

The two Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Shinzo Abe oversaw the inking of two key strategic pacts by virtue of which Tokyo will undertake manufacture of military equipment in India and also share defense secrets. Till now, Japan had such agreements with its traditional allies namely, the US, Australia and the UK.
As prime minister Modi has said - the two countries will work together in (the) East Asia Summit to promote an inclusive, balanced and open regional architecture and maritime security in the region. Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe has reciprocated by saying that 'a strong India is good for Japan, and a strong Japan is good for India.
