FOIP at 10: Bridging the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East

Japan is strategically evolving its vision of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) in response to changing global dynamics and new challenges. Economic security and building resilient supply chains have become crucial issues, with a focus on maritime security and capacity building. Japan remains committed to upholding freedom and the rule of law, respecting diversity and inclusiveness, and ensuring the free and safe navigation of vessels through strategic chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz.
