Shinzo Abe's India foreign policy is pragmatic, as it was based on boosting Japan's resurgent economic indicators, while gaining a crucial partner in Asia. India, alone amongst all major Asian countries, does not have a history of serious military dispute with Japan.
Narendra Modi stresses on development. In fact his election agenda was development.
Similarly after Shinzo Abe came back to power after 16th December 2012, he said, “With the strength of my entire cabinet, I will implement bold monetary policy, flexible fiscal policy and a growth strategy that encourages private investment, and with these three policy pillars, achieve results.”
