Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "During our meeting with Kobayashi Takayuki, Head of the Liberal Democratic Party’s Political Research Council, we discussed shared security challenges and prospects for deeper Ukraine–Japan cooperation.

Ukraine and Japan face a common strategic environment, including threats stemming from Russia’s aggression and destabilizing activities by North Korea.

This common understanding necessitates a mutually beneficial partnership in the field of security. We also spoke about ways to develop our bilateral political dialogue.

I thanked Japan for its unwavering support for Ukraine".
