Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi strongly rejected accusations of "new militarism" during a speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Responding to criticism often directed at Tokyo, Koizumi questioned why Japan is labeled militaristic despite not possessing nuclear weapons or strategic bombers. He emphasized Japan's post-World War II commitment to international law, the United Nations Charter, and a free and open international order. The minister also expressed disappointment over the absence of China's defence leadership at the forum, while reiterating that Japan's "door to dialogue is always open" for regional peace and stability.
