India and Japan have had a long and fruitful history of bilateral development cooperation since 1958. In the last few years, relations between India and Japan have steadily progressed based on India-Japan Global Partnership. 

The visits of the Indian prime minister to Japan in 2006, 2008 and 2010 and the visit of Japanese prime minister to India in 2007, 2009 and 2011 have further strengthened the India-Japan Global Partnership by adding greater substance to the bilateral relations.
