Relations between Japan and Russia are in a difficult situation, but Japan remains firmly committed to resolving the territorial issue and concluding a peace treaty," said new Japanese prime minister Shigeru Ishiba.
He also stressed that"we will protect Japan from the rapidly changing security situation." "Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, continues to invade Ukraine, and the war continues. Today's Ukraine can become tomorrow's East Asia. Many people have similar concerns, " the Japanese prime minister said.
"In the light of the current situation, I will increase the number of friendly countries and like-minded countries based on the alliance between Japan and the United States, strengthen both our diplomatic and defense capabilities in a balanced way, and promote peace in our country through diplomacy based on realistic national interests," Isiba said.
