Ambassadors Ichiro Fujisaki and Takeshi Yagi as well as Martin Huth, Deputy Head of Mission of the German Embassy, the seminar highlighted Japan’s expanding strategic partnerships, as outlined in Japan’s National Security Strategy of December 2022: “Japan will build a multilayered network among its ally and like-minded countries, expand it, and strengthen deterrence. Thus, while utilizing frameworks such as the Japan-US-ROK, and Japan-US-Australia, Japan will enhance security cooperation with Australia, India, the ROK, European countries, ASEAN countries, Canada, NATO, EU, and others.”
The event brought together leading experts to explore some of these relationships – starting with the Japan-US alliance and extending to partnerships with Europe, Australia and South Korea, as well as Japan-US-ROK trilateral cooperation.
