(4/8)高市外交を斬る(田中均)

Prime Minister Takaichi is adept at enhancing relations with friendly nations such as the United States through her strong performance skills, but it is difficult to say that she is achieving tangible results in diplomacy that aligns with Japan's national interests. She lacks a clear vision for how her diplomatic policies will contribute to relations with China and North Korea, and to stability in East Asia. Enhancing deterrence through measures such as accelerating the signing of the three security documents, expanding arms export policies, and strengthening defense capabilities will not guarantee Japan's security. ■Recent Publications: AERA—How did the world view Prime Minister Takaichi's "hugging," "shouting," and "mocking" at the Japan-U.S. summit? What was the "most detrimental act" according to "Mr. Foreign Ministry"? https://dot.asahi.com/articles/-/2791... ■Hitoshi Tanaka: Graduated from Kyoto University Faculty of Law.
