STORY: Yukio Hatoyama, visiting Japan's Prime Minister met with Manmohan Singh, his Indian counterpart in national capital New Delhi on Monday (December 28).
Hatoyama also attended a dinner hosted by Singh.
Hatoyama, who has promised to forge a new place for East Asia in international diplomacy, opened three days of talks in India on Monday, focusing on engineering a further thaw in relations and boosting trade.
Japan and India, Asia's largest and third largest economies, have been working at improving ties since Japan slapped sanctions on India in response to its 1998 nuclear tests.
Hatoyama launched his visit by meeting Indian industrialists, including Tata group chairman Ratan Tata and Reliance Industries head Mukesh Ambani, at a Mumbai hotel which was one of the targets attacked by gunmen in November 2008.
India, long a top recipient of Japanese aid, wants details of Hatoyama's foreign policy, particularly Tokyo's attempts to pursue a foreign policy more "independent" of Washington and improve ties with China, New Delhi's longtime rival.
Trade, analysts say, is one way of cementing that partnership underscored by closer recent military ties and Japanese support for last year's landmark U.S.-India civilian nuclear deal.
Japan is India's sixth largest investor. Bilateral trade, more than $12 billion in 2008-09, is targeted to climb to $20 billion by next year. Japanese investments in India in 2008 was $5.22 billion surpassing investment of $3.65 billion in China.
The Japan prime minister also held talks with R.K. Pachauri, head of India's Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi.
Hatoyama's talks in India will also focus on climate change policies-with the two countries on opposite sides of the debate, particularly on expanding the scope of Japanese support for renewable energy projects in India.
