President must seek closer ties with Japan

At the G7 summit in Germany late last month, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida criticized China for sending vessels near the Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台, known as the Senkaku Islands in Japan). He took issue with Beijing for its exploration of gas fields in Japanese waters in the East China Sea, and for threatening the security of the Indo-Pacific region.
Kishida also said that China should not be allowed to change the “status quo” by force, and specifically referred to the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. He called on G7 nations to strengthen security cooperation with Indo-Pacific
