Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga criticized disputed actions in the South China Sea during his first overseas trip after meeting with Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Suga, who did not mention China by name, denounced actions in the sea that "go against the rule of law" during a speech at Vietnam Japan University, Kyodo News reported Monday.
"It is important that all nations involved work toward a peaceful resolution of conflicts in the South China Sea without resorting to force or coercion," Suga said.
Suga, who is on a four-day tour of Southeast Asia, used the term "free and open Indo-Pacific," coined by the Trump administration, to refer to Japanese foreign policy goals in the region during his summit with Phuc.
