印度直接向日本提出帮助开发印度东北部。日本在东北基础设施建设方面正在发挥着重要作用。2017年4月，日本国际协力事业团与新德里的联盟政府签署了一项协议，将为改善东北公路网的连通性的第一期工程提供超过670亿日元 (约合6.1亿美元)，这将加强梅加拉亚邦和米佐拉姆邦（Meghalaya and Mizoram）之间的道路建设。
最近，东北部的阿萨姆邦（Assam）直接与日本人交往。日本驻印度大使，平松健二，于2017年5月访问了曼尼普尔（Manipur），参加了伊马尔战役73周年的纪念活动。在帕尔和科希马战役（Imphal and Kohima）期间，有7万名日本士兵丧生。大使说，他的国家将在该地区建立一座战争博物馆。

Japan is also playing important role in infrastructure development in the northeast. In April 2017, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed an agreement with the Union government in New Delhi to provide over 67 billion yen ($610 million) for Phase I of the North East Road Network Connectivity Improvement Project, which will see the enhancement of important projects in Meghalaya and Mizoram.
But there is still huge demand for infrastructure development and investment in range of sectors. As per a report from Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC), investment of Rs 3.06 trillion ($48 billion) is required to develop the road networks in the region.
Of late, northeastern states like Assam have been engaging with Japan directly. The Japanese ambassador to India, Kenji Hiramatsu, visited Manipur in May 2017, to commemorate the 73rd anniversary of the battle of Imphal. Between the battles of Imphal and Kohima, 70,000 Japanese soldiers lost their lives. The ambassador said that his country will build a war museum in the state.

QUOTE LZ：在9月3号召开的金砖国家会议上，中国将会通过金砖国家银行平台向印度提供贷款。通过包括印度本身在内的金砖国家银行对印度进行基建抄底，将会促成中印之间的双赢。作为中国抄底印度最核心的就是中印货币互换协议，未来如果这个协议签署，那么就代表中国对印度抄底的全面确立，这会进一步帮助印度跳出美元债务陷阱。
