Akira Igata, Director of ESRP, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo, appeared on Nippon Broadcasting System, ‘Shinko Ichiyoshi’s OK! Cozy up!’ (04/12/2024).
Based on the recently held symposium ‘Japan-NATO Symposium 2024: Partnership in Uncertain Times’, he stressed the importance of cooperation between the Indo-Pacific region and NATO in the unstable political climate, as seen in the election results in the liberal bloc.
He also pointed to the presence of China, which is backing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and North Korea’s deployment of troops to Europe as factors that have led to the Indo-Pacific and NATO, two distant regions, to cooperate more closely.
