The Japanese Government has proposed to jointly develop Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with India that can be used for the surveillance of the Indian Ocean Region and the South China Sea and soon discussions will take place on what kind of unmanned aerial vehicle Japanwants to develop with India.

India is interested in Japan‘s Taigei class submarines and Japanis also keen to offer many of its maritime platforms to India to improve security cooperation between the two countries amid the rising Chinese aggression in the region.
