NATO To Open Office In Japan, The Alliance\u2019s First In Asia<\/span><\/p>\n

NATO is planning to open a liaison office in Japan next year, the alliance\u2019s first in Asia,\u00a0Nikkei Asia<\/em><\/a>\u00a0first reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

In recent years, NATO has turned its gaze toward the Asia Pacific region and\u00a0named<\/a>\u00a0China a “systemic challenge” <\/strong>in its 2022 Strategic Concept. As part of its strategy against China, the alliance is deepening cooperation with countries in the region.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Nikkei<\/em>, the purpose of the liaison office in Japan is to “allow the military alliance to conduct periodic consultations with Japan and key partners in the region, such as South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand as China emerges as a new challenge, alongside its traditional focus on Russia<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The report said NATO and Japan will take more steps to increase cooperation by signing an agreement known as an Individually Tailored Partnership Programme ahead of the NATO summit that will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania, in June.<\/p>\n

Japan also plans to open an independent mission to NATO, separate from the Embassy in Belgium.<\/p>\n

In response to the news, China warned of NATO\u2019s plans to expand into Asia<\/strong>. “Asia is an anchor for peace and stability and a promising land for cooperation and development, not a wrestling ground for geopolitical competition,”\u00a0said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning.<\/a><\/p>\n

“NATO\u2019s continued eastward foray into the Asia Pacific and interference in regional affairs will inevitably undermine regional peace and stability and stoke camp confrontation<\/strong>. This calls for high vigilance among regional countries,” she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
