Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has canceled his participation in the NATO summit in The Hague. The Japanese government has officially confirmed this information. Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya will attend the summit instead of the prime minister.
This will be the first time since 2022 that the alliance summit will be held without the Japanese prime minister.
The summit will be held in The Hague on June 24-26. No official information is available about the reasons for the Japanese prime minister's visit cancellation, but media outlets believe that the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities may be among them.
