Economically, it's important.

China is Japan's largest trading partner.

But it's a complex relationship, partly because of the U.S.-China strategic competition.

So everything that China and Japan has is seen through that larger prism.

They also have disputes in the Singapore Islands.

And of course, it's also because of the overhang of the history of the Second World War, which still remains between the two countries.

We hope the two countries will find ways to resolve these very complex issues and move forward.

Southeast Asia has done that with Japan, as far as the history is concerned.

It has taken some time, but with the passage of time, with the passing of generations, the feelings are not the same.

And we have put the history aside and we're moving forward.

And it's quite striking that survey after survey shows that Japan is the number one trusted great power in Southeast Asia.

And so Singapore and all the Southeast Asian countries support Japan playing a bigger role

in our region, including on the security front, because we think that provides for some stability in the region.
