Question

how can international relation be promoted

Answer 1

to determine its course and promote its own development in the complicated entanglement of the national interests of various countries in the multi-polarized world, it is necessary to promote, first, its relations with all other countries so as to enable it to conduct a dialogue with any of them. In this context, Japan must maintain friendly relations with all countries and establish relations of mutual understanding and cooperation with them to the greatest extent possible.

Japan, quite naturally, shares a similar sense of values and wide-ranging interests with those other free nations that have the same kind of political, economic and social systems and, therefore, it is a matter of course for it to continue to maintain and promote relations of cooperation and concert with them. At the same time, Japan must promote friendly relations with the socialist countries, who live in the same international society although their political, economic and social systems are different, and must not neglect efforts to foster a deeper respect and understanding of each other's position. Establishing such multilateral friendly relations will make it possible for Japan to have more options and to act more flexibly to promote its national interests.
