Decent attempt. Introduction is good. Positive points are also well written. Economic cooperation could be a bit emphasized by talking about CEPA rather than FTA, Japan being one of the largest investors in India. 2+2 dialogue and IPOI could be mentioned in defence partnerships, just mentioning the keywords would suffice. Other related points are good.
Cooperation in other fields like space (LUPEX mission), nuclear (Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy), India-Japan Digital Partnership etc could also find a passing mention.
Next, since the question asks to discuss some challenges in the relationship can also be mentioned.
Limited Success of CEPA; Rising Trade Imbalance; Difference on Cross-border Data Flow; No Concrete Achievement by Asia-Africa Growth Corridor (AAGC); incredible delays in the commencement of the projects could be talked about.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂
