Japan and Germany to hold first '2 plus 2' dialogue talks in April
The foreign and defence ministers of Japan and Germany will hold a “2 plus 2” virtual dialogue in mid-April -- in the wake of China taking an increasingly aggressive foreign policy approach in the Indo-Pacific region. The daily Yomiuri reported on Monday that the “2 plus 2” talks will be the first among the two countries, and they are expected to discuss ways to defence and a “free and open Indo-Pacific” in face of an increasingly assertive China. The two parties are looking to speak on April 16, the Yomiuri also said. The exact has, however, so far not been confirmed.
