G-20 Summit 2023 | Japan keen to deepen military ties with India amid ‘harsh’ security environment

The Hindu  

Japan sees India as an “indispensable” partner in the Indo-Pacific and is keen to develop deeper defence cooperation to ensure maritime security in the region, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on September 10. Our cooperative relationship is deepening steadily,” Mr. Kishida said to a question from The Hindu on India’s role in his new Free and Open Indo-Pacific strategy. So, going forward, to ensure the Indo-Pacific will not be a region that will be decided by force, and will be a region that values freedom and rule of law, we will continue active defence cooperation and exchanges with India.” Mr. Kishida stressed that Japan’s FOIP was “an inclusive and open concept and has no specific country in mind.” At the same time, he described “an increasingly harsh security environment in the region” and said Japan was “opposed to unilateral changes to the status quo in East and South China Seas”, and also “firmly condemned North Korean’s missile activities.” “The FOIP that Japan is promoting is a concept to uphold and reinforce a free and open international order based on rule of law in the Indo-Pacific region. “In particular, India is an indispensable partner to realise a FOIP.” Editorial | Tightrope walk: on the India and Japan relationship and challenges from geopolitical issues Russian invasion has ‘shaken’ G-20 Mr. Kishida defended the G-20 New Delhi Declaration as a “meaningful achievement” when asked about the absence of a reference to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, which was mentioned in last year’s Bali Declaration, but warned it was “shaking the foundation” of the G-20.
