Convergence with Japan

India-Japan strategic partnership jells very neatly in the context of the transformation taking place in the domestic economies of the two countries. At a time when India has emerged as the fastest growing world economy, Japan has all the potential to become India's most preferred partner in its trajectory of growth and development. Japan is resetting its economy after it plummeted to the third position yielding to China in 2010, which occupied the position of the world's second largest economy. The calibrated approach to revamp the Japanese economy has been dubbed as Abenomics with monetary easing, expansionary fiscal policy and long-term growth.
