Japan-France Relations

April 25, 2022

Dear President Emmanuel Macron,

On behalf of the Government and people of Japan, I would like to express our sincere congratulations on your recent stunning victory in the French presidential election.

This re-election shows that the French people highly appreciate vigorous efforts you have been making since your accession to the Presidency.

Japan and France are exceptional partners who share fundamental values and strategic interests.
I would like to further strengthen our bilateral relations, including cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, and continue to work closely with you to ensure world peace and prosperity in the face of continuing challenges to the international order, including Russia's aggression against Ukraine.

I look forward to meeting you soon,


KISHIDA Fumio
Prime Minister of Japan
