Japan’s new Prime Minister has called for the creation of an Asian Nato, and the stationing Japanese troops on US soil.
India has never been a treaty ally of another country and does not have that kind of strategic architecture in mind, said Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
Mr Jaishakar told an event at Washington’s Carnegie Endowment for International Peace that unlike Japan, India had never been a treaty ally of another country.India and Japan, along with the United States and Australia, are part of the so-called Quad grouping of countries established as a counterbalance to China.
Mr Ishiba on Oct 1 said he would seek deeper ties with friendly nations to counter the gravest security threats his country has faced since World War II. US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in 2023 that Washington was not looking to create a Nato in the Indo-Pacific and Mr Daniel Kritenbrink, the US assistant secretary of state for East Asia and the Pacific, recently said it was too early for such talk.
