"We greatly appreciate that Japan takes such a leadership position, not only in the Indo-Pacific region but globally. This is a significant contribution to our resilience, and through it, to the international rules-based order. The international order is essential to prevent Russia’s twisted war policy from continuing anywhere," the head of state said.
