ah, ah. my british manager, welcome to did other news asia, glad you could join us. g 7 foreign ministers meeting in japan are pledging to uphold the international rules based order. vamps coming from japanese foreign minister yoshi massa. hi ashi. as he and his colleagues from the group of 7, well, the democracies meet in the japanese resort town of carries over russia as warn ukraine and increased chinese assertiveness in asia are also teams at the meetings . here is more on the torn host. japan has stepped and the international community is her. now at the history starting point. so we will family reject any union that through attempts to change the status quo by force, or all rushes aggression against clain, as well as the threat of use of nuclear weapons. by doing so,

we will demonstrate to the world that g 7 strong determination to uphold the international order based on the law. all right, so let's get more context on this from you each year or so. yeah, he's a professor in international politics at k or university in talk. your professor, japan's foreign minister, your she masa higher. she has talked of court upholding international order based on the rule of law. why did he feel this is a point that needs to be made at a g 7 meeting, one year into the ukraine war right? flemister from your keys. there has been saying that we are now in the historical coming point. if russia, when the war, this means out international order based on the rule law will be seriously damaged or destroyed. in the sense, i think that the foreign minister has,

she has been saying that it is really important to look at international order by linking european war with what will happen if asia are all g 7 nations united in that approach to this principle? i think basically yes, the utmost where encourages up where g 7, g, 7 for him is does meet now convened? is they basically, they sure come understanding that russia should be defeated and international order must be sustained under consolidated, in the sense i think that and we can see some solidarity among the g 77 meeting members. but the point is that recently french president marker on the china and i think the china has been trying to create some kind of a gap or are the coupling among the liberal democracies. and we should avoid

such a strong attraction by coming from china in the sense i think it's worth pointing out what the manual macros saying he said, or europe should avoid the court crises that aren't ours. and he was obviously referring to the situation over taiwan, which leads to the question of is president mcgraw himself undermining the g 7 a group that his country is a part off? basically i think that the chancellor john, chancellor schultz has already mentioned that we should avoid the coupling of the global economy and i think basically, japanese government understands it and support idea the 20s that a taiwan is a serious issue and our chinese government has been saying that china is willing to integrate taiwan with or without mute a force in the sense we always need to share some understanding about how to

respond to this problem. because in a few years, maybe we will see a serious problem sound. taiwan, in the sense g 7 must maintain the, sorry, di g to respond to the crises in time. future crushes in the tight what. how much of an issue is taiwan, or for that matter, chinese assertiveness in the region. for the g 7. basically, we all welcome our chinese economy, a growth, and we all need to link with chinese economic growth. we welcome it. the probably that chinese government has never deny the possibility of integrating table without without play force. so in the sense of, we need to show that g, so has maintain billy strong story die t, end any are if will to change the status quo by

a force should be avoided in. this is one of the strongest message that for me is that high now she has been saying doing the foreign ministers meeting in carissa. right. stay with us on the line professor hosario, because i'd like to talk about a rival meeting to the g 7 that took place in moscow on sunday that between russian president vladimir 14 and visiting chinese defense minister general lee shang fool. while there li, promised to have close communication between the 2 countries, military's and to strengthen strategic cooperation, here's what both men have to say. that the main focus of my visit this time is to implement the consensus reached between you and president she in russia last month and to consolidate the relationship between the 2 militaries and to promote practical cooperation between the 2 military seating young. he was the huddle for

him, that petroleum immediately taiser, improving very well on all tracks in the economy, in the social education and culture areas. and we are working equally actively on the level of the defense ministries. we will learn a regularly share useful information. we cooperate in the field of military and technical collaboration. when that you can use google, maddie, professor ha sawyer. how is there, sir? increasing military and strategic clause nurse between b ging and mosque or being seen in tokyo? well, there is no doubt that russia has been trying to be closer to china because russia, russian government has. busy facing has been facing a serious problem of the lack of sufficient numbers of what's, in the sense, russia has already imported weapons from both north korea and iraq. that, of course, they need much stronger weapons coming from china. but the china has been the

framing refraining from doing it. so one of the stake is trigger, russia can get and strong support for from the point of view of mediately weapons coming from china. but in that, and in the last half. yeah, i have seen some kind of unbalanced of chinese 80 choose to this issue. while china has been trying to create much friend relationship with united states, european countries, 100 pounds in the last year. at the same time, china has been understanding the value of being close to russia because if something happens, a surrounding taiwan changer undoubtedly need that strong support come from russia . so this is one of the reasons why china needs strong military cooperation with russia, especially on the question of china. japan has a deep trade relationship with china,

but also cedars and maritime disputes. and not to mention that china, russia closeness, that seems to have developed over the past year. how is japan dealing with this class of interests? and well, i think in the last several years, a bose, russia and china have been a more isolated among the leading powers. but at the same time, the 2 pounds are trying to get our closing with the global south by having much closer link with the global pass countries. i think both russia and china and can avoid to be a minority, international community. the japanese, a stronger trade with china, of course. but the same time japan needs a stronger trade with india or some other countries or the global south. in the sense, if china and russia can have the global self countries leading global. so countries

with them it would be a serious problem for japan as well. think says it is necessary for japan to be a friend, re a country to china. why trying to avoid a crisis happening in this region? i think there's a question that is asked quite a lot here in europe as well. how do you trade with a country like china, against whom you're also building defences? in the event that chinese assertiveness down to war in this region, most of the countries have a very close economy link with china. and though we don't the night. so we need to maintain very close economic relationship with china. but at same time, we need to find some kind of bung boundary between some of the sensitive

hey, i couldn't get tickled jeez. and the other area of products or it couldn't deals. so uh, we need to try to avoid any vulnerability by providing a cutting the tick tock, cutting a technology to china, or by being a part of a june in this area. in this way, we are trying to be wiser by distinguish some of the different sectors in our trade trading relationship with china. really with over the timing. thanks so much for joining us today. professor, you richie hoya from care university in tokyo. thank you, sir. and to re much and a lot going on in asia at the same time as the g 7 foreign ministers meeting and all of it points to how the region is responding to a change in global order. here's a brief look. a delegation of french lawmakers visiting taiwan says frances support

towards maintaining the state of school between taiwan and china has not changed. french law maker eric bottle said coat. if something happens to taiwan, it will change the world. the result of the group comes after french president demanded macro goes to stir. after the recent visit to china, saying, europe should avoid being involved in cross street tensions in several japanese and south korean officials are holding their 1st security talks in 5 years. the delegations are expected to discuss regional security threats and bilateral defense cooperation relations between the 2 countries have started to warm in recent months, over common threats from china and north korea. and the united states and the philippines have staged amphibious drills on the western island to follow on. it's the nearest rid of beans, land, moss, facing disputed features in the south china sea. the u. s. has promised to defend the philippines in the heavily contested maritime region. the exercise is a part of the largest ever war games between the 2 allies. china has criticized the
