PM Sanae Takaichi to visit India's Assam with a major business delegation

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi planned an early-July 2026 visit to Assam, India, leading a delegation of executives from more than 50 Japanese companies, including Suzuki and Itochu. Assam is being positioned as a semiconductor manufacturing hub, making it a target for Japanese industrial investment. The visit reflects Japan’s broader shift toward deepening ties with India as regional supply chains diversify away from China.
