Consolidating Japan’s Economic Diplomacy with the European Union
January 17, 2022
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s Asia’s Next Page column ‘Consolidating Japan’s Economic Diplomacy with the European Union’ has been published in Japan Forward on January 17, 2022.
The column argues Prime Minister Kishida’s pursuit of “economic sustainability by giving rise to a virtuous cycle of growth and distribution” will be incomplete without building Japan’s multilateral economic diplomacy with the European Union, India, Australia, and the United States. Japan’s EPA with the EU is an ideal first step in consolidating their partnership, and continued focus on strengthening bilateral economic and security ties will help both actors achieve their respective objectives and vision for the Indo-Pacific region.
