"The Japanese government's recent moves run counter to the post-World War II consensus. They are endangering not just regional stability, but global stability as well -- and that is deeply worrying. In my view, any action that threatens peace and stability, such as the rise of extreme nationalism in Japan, must be met with the highest vigilance. The international community should also voice strong condemnation. We must learn the lessons of history, and we must avoid repeating the mistakes of the 20th century."

"Japan needs to change its mindset and start seeing the world through a more multilateral lens. In the past, Japan was the source of several major crises, and launched wars that caused immense suffering and loss of life. The world today should not repeat the mistakes of war -- it must take the path of peace. Japan should stand for peace, dialogue, and cooperation, not for war, conflict, or rivalry."
