去年的海嘯，美日印繞過聯合國，自封為海嘯救援核心，要於亞洲建立海嘯預報機制．其實所有的預報機制都是有軍事作用的，本來中國希望成為其中一員，結果被排除在外，這是一場很慘痛的外交失勢．
這次美日再度合作，爭取日本加入聯合國常任理事國，温家寶趕忙跑去印度，希望透過支持印度入常和雙邊貿易關係，而排拒日本，中印剛見完面，小泉又跑去印度開會，昨天達成共識，兩個擕手入常．美日印鐵三角關係越趨明顯．．．

NEW DELHI, 30 April 2005 — India and Japan yesterday decided to cooperate closely to achieve their common ambition of a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, as Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi wound up talks with Indian premier aimed at building a new partnership
Both countries supported each other’s candidature for the all-powerful Security Council and agreed to take a decision on its reform before the Millennium Review Summit in September in New York this year.
Koizumi’s trip to India, the first by a Japanese prime minister in five years, came weeks after a landmark visit by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and is part of Tokyo’s “strategic diplomacy” to compete with Beijing.
“They reiterated their support for each other’s candidature, based on the firmly shared recognition that Japan and India are legitimate candidates for permanent membership in an expanded Security Council,” the two sides said in a joint statement.

NEW DELHI, APRIL 30: India and Japan instituted a strategic dialogue that was spelt out in the eight-fold initiative signed between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Koizumi on Friday. The dialogue is at the level of the National Security Advisor — higher than the one between India and China — which is at the Foreign Secretary level.
The focus on economy was clear and significantly Indian business had less apprehension on working towards a comprehensive economic partnership with Japan. It may be noted that India was cautious to the Chinese proposal for setting up the largest bilateral free trade area in Asia. Given that economic compatibility between India and Japan outweighs the competition that dominates the equation with China, sources said, the decision was a far reaching one.．．
