Prime Minister Kishida has been coordinating to visit India and other countries from 19th of this month, and considering that India is cautious about sanctions against Russia, which continues to invade Ukraine, Modi I would like to confirm the cooperation for improving the situation at the meeting with the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Kishida is planning to visit India and Cambodia for three days from 19th to 21st of this month.
Among them, India held a summit meeting with Prime Minister Modi, taking into account that India, which is a traditional friend and has strong military ties, is cautious about sanctions against Russia, which continues to invade Ukraine. On top of that, I would like to confirm the cooperation for improving the situation.
Also, with China in mind as it strengthens its expansion into the East China Sea and South China Sea, if Russia overlooks the military invasion, it may lead to a unilateral attempt to change the status quo in the Indo-Pacific region. I want to share.
On the other hand, in Cambodia, which chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, I would like to hold a summit meeting with Prime Minister Hun Sen to confirm the importance of cooperation between the international community and the situation in Ukraine.
Prime Minister Kishida will make a final decision on whether or not to visit, while paying close attention to the situation in Ukraine and the infection status of the new corona.
