Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a surprise visit to Ukraine. He arrived in Kiev on Tuesday for talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He wanted to convey Tokyo’s “solidarity and unwavering support” for the country.
According to the Japanese foreign ministry, Kishida “wants to strongly condemn Russia’s aggression” against Ukraine and the unilateral change of the status quo. International order must be maintained on the basis of the rule of law.
The Japanese government has joined forces with the West to impose sanctions on Russia. On the other hand, it has not supplied arms to the war country because the pacifist constitution does not allow it. Japan currently chairs the G7, which also includes Germany, the US, France, the UK, Italy and Canada.
Ukraine also discussed during the visit to Poland
According to Japanese broadcaster NHK World, Kishida was previously in India. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the prime minister is expected in Poland on Wednesday. This visit should not only be about bilateral relations between these two countries, but also about a common response to the war in Ukraine.
