TOKYO/NEW DELHI -- Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Indian counterpart Narendra Modi agreed Tuesday to pursue deeper cooperation with Australia and the U.S. as all four national leaders prepare for the first summit of the so-called Quadrilateral Security Dialogue that India said is scheduled for Friday.
Suga and Modi, during their 40-minute phone call, shared the stance that cooperation toward a free and open Indo-Pacific region is increasingly important. China also was a topic as they exchanged views on the region.
