It is reported that the Kishida government hopes that the military organization of NATO can also pay attention to the situation in Northeast Asia, such as Taiwan.A diplomat said: "Although we don't expect (NATO) to support in the emergency situation of the Taiwan Strait, it is of great significance to maintain connection with the military organization of NATO."
On the occasion of Kishida to the NATO summit, Japanese defense officials also sent a news that the crisis in southern Japan has expanded, and the U.S. military will first deploy unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at the base of the Japanese Self -Defense Force to expand Japan and the United States.
