Japan state ministers visit Ukraine to examine recovery needs

 

Two Japanese state ministers, along with a business delegation, have visited Ukraine to examine requests for Japanese contributions to the future reconstruction of the war-torn country, the Foreign Ministry said Monday.

Kiyoto Tsuji, a state minister for foreign affairs, and Kazuchika Iwata, a state minister of economy, trade and industry, met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in Kyiv a day after arriving in the country on Sunday. Tsuji told Shmyhal that Japan’s commitment to helping Ukraine will never waver and that the visit by both him and Iwata was “important in terms of further deepening the involvement of Japanese firms” in the nation’s reconstruction, according to the Foreign Ministry.

Iwata was quoted by the ministry as saying that the government would support Japanese businesses to that end.

Shmyhal expressed optimism about Japan’s role, saying that Kyiv would continue to work with Tokyo for the Japan-Ukraine Conference for Promotion of Economic Reconstruction, scheduled to be held in Tokyo on Feb. 19, the ministry said.

Fumiya Kokubu, chairman of the Japan Business Federation’s special committee on Ukraine’s economic recovery, accompanied Tsuji and Iwata. The federation is the nation’s most powerful business lobby and is better known as Keidanren.

The delegation also included business people from about 10 Japanese companies, such as engineering firms JFE Engineering and IHI, and agricultural machinery maker Kubota.

“Through the economic mission’s visit this time, we will further promote public-private support for Ukraine, and we hope it will lead to the success” of the conference, Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa told a news conference Monday in Tokyo.

In March, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a surprise trip to Ukraine, while Kamikawa’s predecessor, Yoshimasa Hayashi, visited the country in September. Ukraine has been at war with Russia since February 2022.

Japanese Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed Wednesday that a Japan-Ukraine conference on Ukraine’s economic reconstruction will be held in Tokyo on Feb. 19.

In their 30-minute phone talks, Kishida assured Zelenskyy of Japan’s unwavering commitment to Ukraine, and Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude.

The phone talks between the two were the first since late August.

Kishida told Zelenskyy that foreign ministers from the Group of Seven major powers, at their two-day meeting in Tokyo through Wednesday, confirmed that their countries will continue tough sanctions against Russia and strong support for Ukraine.

The upcoming conference will discuss infrastructure restoration and industrial reconstruction in Ukraine.

Shmyhal said this month Ukraine would need budget support of about $42 billion this year and next year to plug a massive deficit and aid reconstruction from the devastation caused by Russia’s invasion.

METI said the visit was an opportunity to hear about Ukraine’s needs and to discuss specific projects and accelerate public and private efforts to help.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy – who visited Japan in May during a G7 summit – and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida agreed this month to hold a Japan-Ukraine Conference for promotion of Economic Reconstruction in Tokyo on Feb. 19.
