At their joint press conference, Kamikawa mentioned that Japan has launched the “Diplomatic Initiative toward Latin America and the Caribbean,” which aims to strengthen ocean and other cooperation with countries in the area.
“I’d like to build up concrete collaborations,” Kamikawa said.
“As a strategic partner of Japan, we want to strive for stability in the Indo-Pacific region,” Ramierz said, emphasizing that Paraguay is the only country in South America that recognizes Taiwan.
