Army chief in Japan to boost def ties

Army chief General Upendra Dwivedi is on a four-day visit to Japan to boost bilateral defence ties and explore new avenues for military collaboration between the two nations. The visit comes after India and Japan decided to crank up their defence-industrial ties for cutting-edge technologies & enhance military interoperability through combat exercises and cooperation in space and cyber domains, with an eye firmly on China's aggressive moves in Indo-Pacific region, during the two-plus-two ministerial dialogue in August.
