In an unprecedented move, Prime Minister Kōichi of Japan conducted the first meeting around foreign policies, getting the ball rolling on this controversial topic. The chief aims of the gathering were to examine, and potentially revise, the nation's stance on international relations. The motivation for the move is to set clear guidelines, ensuring a balanced outlook that positions Japan on the global stage.

Japan, being an island nation with a unique culture, has unique perspectives on foreign policies. The meeting marks a political milestone. People care deeply about preserving their culture while fostering growth through international relationships. The potential changes in these policies are likely to spark vigorous public discussion.

Similar issues in the US or EU usually involve extensive involvement from not only the leadership but also public and media scrutiny. The debate also includes discussions on immigration views, economic relations, and global peace-keeping, similar to Japan's current discussions.
