Foreign Policy
Japan's foreign policy is anchored by the US-Japan Security Alliance, the most important bilateral relationship in Asia-Pacific security. Japan has deepened ties with Australia, India, and ASEAN through the 'Free and Open Indo-Pacific' vision. Relations with South Korea have improved recently after decades of historical tensions.
Japan advocates for rules-based international order, freedom of navigation, and peaceful resolution of disputes. It maintains a territorial dispute with China over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands and with Russia over the Northern Territories/Kuril Islands.
