India-Japan ink significant strategic pacts

India and Japan inked 4 pacts including the one on the bullet train, others being in the areas of defense and nuclear energy. The two leaders also addressed global and regional concerns of mutual interest including the UN security reforms. Modi also declared that from 1 March 2016, Japanese visitors coming to India would get visa on arrival.

Reason
Why is Japan critical to India's nuclear deals?

Japan has a strict policy barring technology exports to non-NPT signatory, nuclear weapons states. Hitachi owns US firm GE and Toshiba owns Westinghouse, the two US companies providing technology to India under the Indo-US deal. Due to issues with India's stance on the NPT, several hurdles are yet to be overcome with Westinghouse and GE. A deal with Japan can help clear these hurdles.
