Abstract:

Japan is updating and strengthening the political dimension of its cooperation with the countries of the Visegrad Group (the V4 – Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia). It was prompted by China's growing involvement in the Balkans and the EU's preparation of its Indo-Pacific strategy. In both cases, Japan counts on the support of the V4, which would benefit from tightening multidimensional cooperation with an Asian partner that does not raise objections in the EU. However, the V4 members' inconsistent approaches to China may undermine the coordination of the political dialogue between Japan and the Visegrad states, although it is unlikely to have a negative impact on economic cooperation.
