Kishida’s G7 tour won’t break new ground
5 min readAs president of the G7 this year, Japan will be tested to lead consensus on pressing issues. But as Kishida’s stops in Rome and Paris suggest, a warped sense of Japanese national security keeps global leadership at bay.
These security-focused imperatives echo G7’s cold-war hysteria of the past. Much to Tokyo’s own disadvantage, it appears keen to sustain the grouping’s status as a major outlier in global peace, dampening its own prospects for stability in the process.
