India is one of the main countries upon which Japan now focuses. Against the backdrop of China’s rise, Russia’s resurgence and Japan’s fragile partnership with the US (visible, for example, in the Futenma base relocation issue), Japan seems ready to build a "natural" alliance with India on the basis of shared democratic values and history, as well as geopolitical considerations such as sea lanes security. The papers were presented at the international symposium "Indo-Japanese Dialogue on Eurasia" on March 11, 2011.
