The White House, in its official release, said: \u201cThey pledged to enhance cooperation as major defence partners, resolving that two of the world\u2019s great democracies should also have the world\u2019s greatest militaries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Economic cooperation, dedicated freight corridor, bullet train and Asia-Africa growth corridor connectivity project were the main focus of the Modi-Abe talks.<\/p>\n
Connectivity, counter-terrorism, nuclear proliferation, blue economy, free navigation in Indo-Pacific region and respect for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) were key issues in the ASEAN meetings today.<\/p>\n
Addressing the 15th ASEAN-India Summit, Modi said: \u201cIndia assures its steady support towards achieving a rules-based regional security architecture that best attests to the region\u2019s interests and its peaceful development.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have strived very hard to fight terrorism and violent extremism. It is time we jointly address this challenge by intensifying cooperation,\u201d he said. The PM also held a series of bilateral meetings with PMs of Australia Malcom Turnbull, Vietnam Nguyen Xuan Phuc and New Zealand Jacinda Arden.<\/p>\n
