TOKYO: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will visit Tokyo in December to meet Shinzo Abe, who will be officially named as Japan's new premier this week, a Japanese newspaper said on Sunday.

The two governments are scheduling Singh's first visit to Tokyo on December 14 after the East Asia Summit on the Philippine island of Cebu, the Yomiuri Shimbun daily said, citing government sources.

The leaders will discuss a new initiative by Japan, India, the United States and Australia, which Abe has promoted as a new structure of strategic dialogue between nations with the same democratic values, the Yomiuri said.

Abe, a 52-year-old conservative, easily won an election last week by Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party to succeed incumbent Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

One of his greatest challenges will be to strengthen Japan's troubled relationship with China, whose leaders have refused to meet with Koizumi since April last year due to his visits to controversial Yasukuni war shrine.

He has called for friendly ties with China but has also urged for Japan to move closer to India and Australia, saying the two countries and the United States share Japan's democratic values.

Abe, a hawk whose grandfather was a cabinet minister during World War II, is known to have views on history well to the right of those held by Koizumi, such as questioning the legitimacy of US-led trials of war criminals.
