I would like to express my sincere respect for the activities of the NPO Indo-Pacific Institute (RIIPA).

In order for Japan to continue to enjoy peace and prosperity as the international order is greatly shaken by blatant challenges that use the power of China and Russia, it is necessary, with the understanding and cooperation of the Japanese people, to take a more tenacious and realistic approach than ever before. We need to move forward with our security policy.

Based in the Kansai region, RIIPA actively raises issues and provides a forum for many people, including young people, to think about security issues. .
