Japan has been actively working to strengthen its diplomatic and economic ties with Southeast Asian nations, as tensions rise in the South China Sea.
During a recent summit in Tokyo, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met with leaders from Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia to discuss regional security and economic cooperation.
The talks focused on enhancing maritime security and creating partnerships to counterbalance China’s growing influence in the region.
Japan’s foreign ministry emphasized that the country remains committed to maintaining peace and stability in Southeast Asia.
Economic cooperation agreements, particularly in the fields of technology and green energy, were also signed.
Analysts believe that Japan’s proactive approach will help solidify its position as a key player in the region.
