【日本は多層的な国際網の連結点に】学習院大学 教授　江藤 名保子【日曜サロン】

The second installment in our series examining the issues at stake in the House of Representatives election focuses on diplomacy. We spoke with Gakushuin University Professor Naoko Eto about diplomatic issues that politics should prioritize, particularly Japan-China relations. This episode aired on BS TV Tokyo's "NIKKEI Sunday Salon" on February 1, 2026. "Leverage Asia's Position as a G7 Member" Eto said of Japanese diplomacy, "As a G7 member, Japan is both Western and Asian," and "positioned to be a link in a multi-layered network." He emphasized the need to "effectively leverage this position to transform it into diplomatic strength" and "establish Japan's role in a global context." "Dialogue to Prevent the Deterioration of Japan-China Relations" Regarding the current Japan-China relationship, Eto pointed out, "Rather than a conciliatory approach to prevent the relationship from worsening, dialogue to prevent further deterioration is needed." He noted that in the upcoming House of Representatives election, "China is watching to see whether a government with a strong political base emerges." ◆BS TV Tokyo "NIKKEI Sunday Salon" Every Sunday from 9:30 AM https://www.bs-tvtokyo.co.jp/official...
