Japan and India will conduct cabinet-level negotiations on defense equipment exports starting in 2024. The leaders of the two countries reached a consensus on the export framework in July this year.
(Central News Agency, New Delhi, comprehensive foreign news report on the 21st) Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi held talks with Indian Defense Minister Singh on the 20th and agreed to export the "Unicorn" communications antenna for ships to India as soon as possible. The two sides also agreed to coordinate the convening of the "2+2" talks between foreign affairs and defense ministers this year.
"Nihon Keizai Shimbun" reported that Koizumi and Rajnath Singh also signed a memorandum during their meeting yesterday to expand maritime defense cooperation, including the maintenance of ships and the production of defense equipment.
The communication antenna "Unicorn" (the system's English abbreviation is UNICORN) equipped on the Mogami-class frigates of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force was developed by Japanese companies such as NEC. Since several antennas are integrated into one antenna, the stealth of the ship can be improved. The framework for the export of antennas was already agreed upon during the leadership meeting between Nikko Takaichi Sanae and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in July this year.
The two countries will continue to negotiate the matter at the cabinet level starting in 2024, but the time for export to India has not yet been finalized. There are opinions within the Ministry of Defense that the conditions may be related to the amount of the agreement and technology, so it is quite time-consuming.
