 Yawichi, the floor is yours and I should of course in the acronym have mentioned the quad, but fortunately Jean-Pierre mentioned the quad. And the quad was a Japanese initiative, so the floor now is yours. Well, thank you very much indeed for having me in this session, and also thank you very much for maintaining attention to the inter-psychological region, the most dynamic region as well as the largest region in the world. So that's why we have the largest numbers of speakers in this session. Of course, thank you very much for mentioning about quad. It's a Japanese invention as well as a concept in the Pacific, which is generally regarded as the invention of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for some reasons. Many things have happened in the last one year in the inter-psychological region while we are seeing two walls, one in Ukraine of course and the other one in the Middle East. We are now asking further another war would happen soon in Asia Pacific or in the Pacific region of course around Taiwan. So I'd like to focus on four points in my initial talk. First, the possibility of contingency around Taiwan has been repeatedly discussed in the last one year. Last month, the Chinese government sent a fighter jet to monitor and warn a US Navy aircraft that flew through the Taiwan Strait. Many observers naturally sensed the possibility of the outbreak of a military conflict between the two parts. In Japan, we have been generally saying that the possibility of war is quite small because China is not Russia. China would be more rational and more restrained. That's why the possibility is limited but still we can see some elements of the outbreak of war so we have to be careful about how we should stop the happening of the war in the region. This is one thing. The other thing is that secondly, on the other hand, both China and the United States have been searching opportunities to talk at the highest level. It is now reported that the president Xi Jinping would soon visit San Francisco to attend this year's epic meeting. This would be undoubtedly a variable opportunity to ease the tension between the two greatest parts. So this is good news. Thirdly, Japan, the number three largest economy in the world. Japan decided to double its defense budget to enhance Japanese deterrence in the region. This is largely because of the fact that the US government has been repeatedly asked Japan to do so. There are so many uncertainties and the regional powers must take more responsibilities than before. The United States is becoming much more inward-looking and next year we do not know who would be chosen as an expression. That's why Japan must play a larger role in stabilizing the region. Fourthly, another good important thing is that Japan and South Korea have been improving their relationship. This is good news during the time of great concerns and wars. I think that this is essentially important trend for some reason. One of them is that the United States government has been trying to persuade the two governments to improve their relations because US forces in Japan and US forces in Korea cannot work effectively without the cooperation between the two governments. Finally, the missing puzzle can be found. The United States can effectively increase deterrence in the region with much more enhanced ROK-Japan relations. This is good news. The US government has been trying to create a cooperation among the like-minded partners and the Quad is one of them. So at the time when the multilateral cooperation is really difficult, we need to rely more upon the cooperation among the like-minded partner as well as mini-dattelah cooperation, which means of course AUKUS and Quad as well as G7. These are the cooperation among the like-minded partners by enlarging the cooperation that we can remedy so many problems that we are now facing. In the sense that Japan can provide many things to bring stability in the region by enhancing deterrence on one hand. But on the other hand, Japan is providing inclusive regional concepts such as in the Pacific. This is a huge inclusive regional concept based upon the free and open in the Pacific strategy which has been driven by Japanese government and also CPTPP as well, the largest free-trade area in the region. So with these inclusive visions, I think that Japan can do something to bring stability in the region. Thank you very much. Interesting that in a sense America's policy in the region overhangs everything and one does wonder if Donald Trump were to be the next president, how policy might or might not change. I mean in a sense Biden has continued much of Trump's policy towards China. But it's interesting you brought up the question of the need for more, for Asian powers to take more responsibility for input.
