As Russia's military invasion continues, Prime Minister Kishida is coordinating to attend the NATO-North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in Spain in late June.

100 days have passed since Russia started its military invasion of Ukraine, and the government is working in line with the United States and other countries to continue economic sanctions against Russia and support for Ukraine, and to encourage countries such as Asia to cooperate. increase.



Prime Minister Kishida has decided to attend the G7 Summit in Germany from June 26, followed by the NATO Summit in Spain. We are making adjustments.



It will be the first time for the Japanese Prime Minister to attend the NATO summit.



Prime Minister Kishida will continue to express his intention to respond to the situation in Ukraine in cooperation with member countries, and will not allow unilateral changes in the status quo by force in any region, keeping in mind the trends of China and North Korea. I would like to explain the position and the policy to drastically strengthen Japan's defense capabilities, such as increasing defense spending.



However, unlike the G7, Japan is not a member of NATO, so Prime Minister Kishida will make a final decision on whether or not to attend the House of Councilors election, taking into account the situation at the last minute.
