The ministerial meeting of TICAD = Tokyo International Conference on African Development led by Japan will be held from the 26th.
With the situation in Ukraine in mind, the government is not allowed to make unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force, and is calling for unity in African countries, calling for the need to respond properly.
TICAD is an international conference led by Japan to discuss the development and support of Africa. Before the summit meeting in August, 50 countries participated in an online ministerial meeting on the 26th and 27th. Will be opened.
At the meeting, Foreign Minister Hayashi argued that Russia's military invasion of Ukraine would not allow a one-sided attempt to change the status quo by force, and that it was necessary to respond properly, and united with African countries. I'm going to call.
In addition, regarding the UN Security Council, considering that Russia, which is a permanent member of the Security Council, is involved in acts that shake the international order, a new framework is needed, and the realization of UN reform including the inclusion of Japan as a permanent member of the Security Council. I also want to work on it.
In addition, at the ministerial meeting, discussions are expected to be held on cooperation in the field of health and hygiene, including the supply of the new corona vaccine, and the construction of a fair and free economic system.
