Foreign Minister Mogi has begun coordinating to visit Central American and Caribbean countries such as Cuba and Panama next month.
With China growing influential in the region, I would like to call for cooperation towards the realization of a free and open international order based on the rule of law.
Foreign Minister Mogi has begun coordinating to visit four countries in Guatemala, Cuba, Panama and Jamaica in Central America and the Caribbean in the middle of next month.
Of these, in Cuba, it is expected that they will meet with Foreign Minister Rodriguez and others to discuss the strengthening of bilateral relations centered on the economic field and the situation in North Korea, which has a friendly relationship with Cuba.
In Central America and the Caribbean, China is strengthening its economic influence through infrastructure investment, etc., and Minister Mogi called for cooperation toward the realization of a free and open international order based on the rule of law in a series of visits. I want to.
Meanwhile, Minister Motegi will visit the three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania after attending the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Italy next week.
In the three Baltic states, Minister Mogi is collaborating with the three Baltic states, considering that the Lithuanian government has announced that it will withdraw from the framework of economic cooperation between China and 17 Central and Eastern European countries, and that there are movements to review the cooperative relationship with China. I want to strengthen.
