Enhancing Diplomatic Capacity |
Enhancing Japan's diplomatic capacity is an urgent task, particularly the reinforcement of its implementation structure. By strengthening its diplomatic capacity, Japan will be able to respond more flexibly and appropriately to the various challenges facing the international community and proactively promote its diplomacy based on Japan's national interests. From this point of view, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is seeking to significantly reinforce its budget as well as its organizations and quota of staff, which comprise the foundation for Japan's diplomatic implementation structure. The Ministry is also working to develop its information gathering and analysis capability while enhancing its information provision and processing systems through the use of information technology.
