His visit coincided with that of Chinese General Secretary, Xi Jinping&#8217;s trip to Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Kishida, who had just come from a visit to India where he talked about partnering with India to \u201cfoster the region into a place that values freedom, the rule of law, free from force or coercion,\u201d landed in Ukraine to offer condolences on behalf of all Japanese nationals to victims of the conflict. He stated that Japan will continue to aid Ukraine with every effort to bring back peace.<\/p>\n<p>Kishida&#8217;s visit to Ukraine underscored the emergence of Tokyo as a counterweight to Russia\u2019s cooperation with China, similar to the United States\u2019 efforts. As a result, a senior European official in Kyiv labeled China&#8217;s recent visit as pure antagonism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\">\n                    <picture><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"446\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" width=\"767\" height=\"446\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"645\" height=\"375\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" width=\"645\" height=\"375\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"1060\" height=\"617\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><source width=\"1060\" height=\"617\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\"><\/source><br \/>\n                        <\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, right, greet each other after the signing of joint documents in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, March 21, 2023.<\/figcaption><div class=\"Figure-credit\" itemprop=\"author\">Efrem Lukatsky\/AP<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, extended an invitation to Kishida in January. The visit coincided with Xi Jinping\u2019s portentous trip to Moscow, which offered Ukrainian policymakers a symbolic diplomatic counterpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Recent events show U.S. allies and partners in Europe coordinating with allies in the Indo-Pacific. It is a trend that the U.S. hopes will continue. Kishida\u2019s visit to Ukraine represents one of these alliances.<\/p>\n<p>Shinzo Abe was the previous Japanese Prime Minister who pioneered the concept of the \u201cfree and open Indo-Pacific\u201d during the increased aggression in the South China Sea by Chinese forces.<\/p>\n<p>Since Putin launched the full-scale offensive to overthrow the Ukrainian government, Kishida has been accelerating Japan&#8217;s upgrade of their ability to repel invasions. The latest national security strategy put emphasis on deterring a clash in the Indo-Pacific. Kishida also wants to protect and nurture the public ocean bounty that everyone shares.<\/p>\n<p>India is an indispensable partner in those efforts. Kishida has been making an effort to emphasize the ideological division between India, China, and Russia. India continues to import Russian oil but has warned Moscow not to use nuclear weapons and continued to cooperate with the Quad globally.<\/p>\n<p>Japan&#8217;s recent efforts have raised Ukrainian hopes that Japan could be a more effective partner in persuading other countries to take a harder line on Kremlin aggression.<\/p>\n<p>The views and opinions expressed in this article are solely those of the author and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8216;Read More From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense-national-security\/japan\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida expressed \u201cgreat anger\u201d over the murder of Ukrainian civilians by Russian forces during a surprise visit to Kyiv that coincided with Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping\u2019s trip to Russia. \u201cI really feel great anger at the atrocity upon visiting that very place here,&#8221; Kishida told reporters Tuesday after a visit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1902520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[14537,22413,4501,14515,22414,3666,3733,16876,6991,14032],"class_list":["post-1902519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-pure","tag-antagonism","tag-china","tag-japans","tag-kishida","tag-meets","tag-putin","tag-shames","tag-ukraine","tag-visiting"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1902519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1902519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1902519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1902520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1902519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1902519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1902519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
