Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s piece ‘What Kishida as Japan PM Means for India and China’ has been published in ‘The Sunday Guardian’ on October 03, 2021.
The piece argues that Kishida is highly likely to take Abe’s Indo-Pacific legacy ahead. This was accentuated with his victory speech post winning the LDP presidentship wherein he stated that ‘realisation of a free and open Indo-Pacific’ is a key priority and challenge.
