Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will visit Japan and South Korea in the first week of September for bilateral discussions on security engagements and defence industry cooperation.
A defence ministry official said on Friday that Singh is scheduled to meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Lee Nak-Yon, Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea.
Singh's visit to Japan is scheduled from September 2 to 3 while he will be in Korea on September 5 and 6. This will be Singh's second foreign visit since he took over charge as Defence Minister.
