00:00In the midst of China's alliance, Japan also gave up any country that is not subject to the Reciprocal Access Agreement or RAA with the Philippines.
00:11This also answered the division of China in the context of World War II.
00:15J.P. Soriano was on the scene.
00:21After the historic signing of the Reciprocal Access Agreement or RAA between Japan and the Philippines,
00:28the Deputy Press Secretary of Japan, Kaneko Mariko, said that no other country is subject to it.
00:59This is what Japan said after China agreed to the RAA between Japan and the Philippines.
01:07China said that any cooperation between countries should not be a threat to regional peace and stability.
01:15It should also not be targeted or destroyed in the interest of other countries.
01:20Under the RAA, Japan's Self-Defense Forces will provide access to the country and Philippine soldiers in Japan for joint training exercises,
01:31such as the strengthening of the Visiting Forces Agreement between the Philippines and the United States.
01:36China also raised the issue of what happened in World War II more than eight decades ago.
01:44China said that it has a serious responsibility in the history of Japan
01:49because of its aggression and colonial rule in the Philippines,
01:53and that Japan should first learn about it before attacking its military allies.
02:01What clarification would Japan like to provide in response to China's statements?
02:06Well, since the end of the war, the past war,
02:10Japan has been devoted to maintaining and contributing to the peace and stability of this region,
02:17and as well as the stability and peace of the world.
02:21And for this reason, Japan is cooperating with the Philippines and also the like-minded countries and our allies
02:30together to maintain the international order based on rule of law.
02:36And because we believe that this international order based on rule of law,
02:43upholding this is very important in maintaining peace and stability.
