💨 Abstract

Japan's outgoing prime minister, Fumio Kishida, has reiterated the need for continued U.S. involvement and leadership in East Asia and the world, particularly amid challenges to the international order from Russia and China. Kishida, who is not contesting a Japanese ruling party leadership election this week, emphasized the importance of preserving freedom and democracy, and stressed that the U.S. has played a crucial role in building this order since World War II.
