India and Japan are bound by common ties of religion, culture and friendship. We share as well a commitment to human freedom and democratic norms. We have established a Global Partnership for the 21st Century. The India-Japan Joint Declaration issued by the two Prime Ministers in Tokyo on 10 December 2001 has confirmed this commitment, and set out the common perspectives of both the countries on a wide range of bilateral issues and global challenges. Mutual respect and equality, efforts to build understanding through transparency and engagement; and our willingness to move beyond the Cold War constructs in the new Century will, be the bedrock upon which a mutually supportive and broad-based relationship can be built in the future.
