Following the forced landing of a passenger plane by the former Soviet Union of Belarus and the detention of anti-government journalists, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato has announced a policy of not allowing Belarusian airlines to enter Japan for the time being. ..
Last month, Belarusian officials forced a passenger plane passing through its territory to land at an airport in the capital, Minsk, and detained protasevic, an anti-government journalist on board.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato said at a press conference in the morning, "The Belarusian government has not acknowledged the forced landing, and the possibility that a similar case will occur in the future cannot be ruled out," and recommends avoiding the passage of Belarus through the territory. It has been revealed that safety information will be issued to Japanese airlines.
In addition, given that the measures taken by the Belarusian authorities are suspected of violating the International Civil Aviation Convention, Belarusian airlines have indicated that they will not allow them to enter Japan for the time being.
In addition, it does not make any agreement with Belarus regarding the opening of air routes.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Kato once again strongly condemned the forced landing of civilian aircraft by the Belarusian authorities and the arbitrary detention of certain passengers on board, and demanded the immediate release of detained journalists.
