On March 17, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan established the International Peace Mediation Unit under the Foreign Policy Bureau of the Ministry.

As the international environment becomes increasingly severe and conflicts continue to emerge across the globe, the imperative of preventing disputes before they arise and supporting early resolution by engaging from the outset of conflicts and providing seamless support from the realization of ceasefire through humanitarian assistance, recovery and reconstruction has become ever more pronounced. Through the establishment of the International Peace Mediation Unit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan will further strengthen its active and flexible engagement in peace mediation efforts.
