India-Japan: Prime Minister of Japan Kishida Fumio is coming to India on a 2-day visit. Meanwhile, there will be bilateral talks between Japan’s PM Kishida Fumio and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Hyderabad House in Delhi on March 20. It is part of the annual summit between India and Japan. Kishida Fumio will attend a lecture in Delhi on 20 March. In this lecture, he will outline the Indo-Pacific plan, which is important for the friendship between India and Japan. Because China’s activities in the Indian Pacific region are continuously increasing and in such a situation, planning related to the free and open Indo-Pacific region will be important to maintain regional peace.
Eye on the new Indo-Pacific plan
The main objective of the new Indo-Pacific plan is to balance China’s growing influence and expansionist stance in the entire region. Along with this, there will be an emphasis on providing more options to developing countries to increase development and defence cooperation in this region.
Both are handling important international responsibility
The visit of Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio to India is taking place at a time when both countries are shouldering a huge international responsibility. India is chairing the G20 and Japan is chairing the G7, the most developed countries in the world. At present, India is also carrying out the responsibility of the chairman of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). From a global point of view, the chairmanship of these groups is very important for both countries.
Important from the point of view of the Russia-Ukraine war
Diplomatically, the visit of the Prime Minister of Japan to India is also special because at this time the world is grappling with the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war for the last year. At the same time, India is refraining from any such action against Russia. Japan’s Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi did not come to India to attend the G20 Foreign Ministers‘ meeting held on March 2.
In such a situation, it was also said that Japan is not that happy with India’s attitude towards Russia. But a few days later, the announcement of the visit of the Prime Minister of Japan to India put an end to those speculations. Both India and Japan are known as peace-loving countries.
Important from the point of view of the Russia-Ukraine war
The Russia-Ukraine war is a complex and ongoing conflict that has geopolitical and humanitarian implications. Some of the important aspects of this conflict from various perspectives are:
- Geopolitical implications: The conflict has significant geopolitical implications as it involves two neighbouring countries with historical ties and a shared cultural heritage. The conflict has the potential to impact regional stability, energy security, and global politics. It has also led to increased tensions between Russia and the West, with the European Union and the United States imposing economic sanctions on Russia.
- Humanitarian crisis: The conflict has caused a humanitarian crisis with thousands of people killed, injured, or displaced. It has also led to a shortage of food, water, and medical supplies in some areas. The situation has been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further strained the healthcare system and worsened the economic situation.
- Military strategy: The conflict has been characterized by the use of unconventional tactics, such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns, as well as traditional military manoeuvres. Russia has been accused of supplying weapons and troops to separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine, while Ukraine has relied on its military to defend its territory.
- Diplomatic efforts: Diplomatic efforts have been ongoing to resolve the conflict, with various international organizations and countries involved in mediation and negotiation. The Minsk Protocol, signed in 2015, was a diplomatic effort to end the conflict, but it has not been fully implemented.
- Impact on civilians: Civilians have been the most affected by the conflict, with many losing their homes and loved ones. The conflict has also disrupted education, healthcare, and other essential services, leaving many people without access to basic necessities.
- Propaganda and disinformation: The conflict has been marked by a significant amount of propaganda and disinformation from both sides. Russia has been accused of spreading false information to justify its actions and undermine the Ukrainian government, while Ukraine has also been accused of using propaganda to demonize Russia and its leaders.
- Ethnic and linguistic tensions: The conflict has highlighted the ethnic and linguistic tensions that exist in Ukraine, particularly between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. This has led to debates about language rights and autonomy for Russian-speaking regions in Ukraine.
- International law: The conflict has raised questions about international law and the sovereignty of states. Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 was widely condemned by the international community as a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty, and the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine has been criticized as a violation of the Minsk Protocol and other international agreements.
- Economic implications: The conflict has had significant economic implications for both Russia and Ukraine, as well as the wider region. Economic sanctions have been imposed on Russia, affecting its trade and investment relations with other countries. Ukraine’s economy has also been impacted by the conflict, with the loss of key industrial assets and a decline in foreign investment.
- Cybersecurity: The conflict has highlighted the growing importance of cybersecurity and the risks of cyberattacks. Both Russia and Ukraine have been accused of using cyberattacks as part of their military strategy, and there have been concerns about the potential for cyberattacks to disrupt critical infrastructure and cause harm to civilians.
