Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Thursday he condemned in the strongest terms Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying it amounted to war crimes.
Kishida was speaking in London following an extended visit to Southeast Asia. Japan had hoped to hold talks on Russia’s invasion and consolidate responses in Southeast Asia, where only one nation, Singapore, has joined sanctions against Russia, officials say.
Kishida also said that Japan’s economy would continue to see robust growth, telling an audience in London they could invest in the country with confidence.
He said Japan would continue to be a trading and investment powerhouse that is open to the world.
