Misri met his counterpart, Vice Foreign Minister Takehiro Funakosh, and exchanged views on issues of topical importance.

"The two sides reviewed the salient issues in the multi-dimensional bilateral ties between India and Japan, including political relations, defence and security, economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges," a Ministry of External Affairs release said.
