Tokyo, 21/3: Japan’s Fumio Kishida arrived in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Tuesday to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, broadcaster NHK said, a rare, unanounced visit by a Japanese leader that signalled Tokyo’s emphatic support against Russia’s invasion.
Kishida is due to voice support and solidarity with Ukraine following the invasion by Russian forces more than a year ago, Japan’s foreign ministry said.
He will also convey “his respect for the courage and perseverance of the Ukrainian people standing up to defend their homeland,” it said.
