Japan and India will hold working-level talks here Wednesday on Japan's export of US2 rescue plane to India, Japan's defence ministry said Monday.

Under the newly adopted arms export rules, Japan is considering export of the rescue plane without removing its defence equipment such as identification of friend or foe system and cryptography, Xinhua reported.

The first round of this meeting was held in December last year. Officials from the defence, foreign and trade ministries will participate in Wednesday's meeting.

Japan's three new principles on the transfer of defence equipment state that Japan will prohibit the export of weapons to countries involved in conflicts.

With strict screening, Japan will allow arms exports only if they serve the purpose of contributing to international cooperation and security interests, according to the new rules.
