Updated
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is continuing his seven-day tour of India, Malaysia and India. On Tuesday Mr Abe was in New Delhi for talks on trade, investment and a controversial nuclear cooperation deal. He travelled to Delhi from Indonesia, where he signed a wide-ranging free-trade agreement with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The two leaders also discussed democratic reform in Indonesia. The trade deal will abolish almost all import taxes on Indonesian goods from next year; in return, Jakarta will supply Japan with gas.
