Led by Japanese Parliamentarian Hiroyuki Hosoda, the delegation also called for deeper cooperation between the two countries.

While condoling the deaths of Indian soldiers at Uri in Jammu and Kashmir on September 18, the delegation welcomed Prime Minister Modi's call for greater international cooperation against the global menace of terrorism and for coordinated efforts to isolate sponsors of terrorism.
