Scholz visits Japan to firm up economic, defense ties

Germany and Japan should have close ties in economic and defence.

Glad to see Mr.Scholz opening to more possibilities.

Since China and Russia are the common enemies, it is very logical for Japan and Germany to team up. They should trade more with each other, and get away from China as much as possible. Too bad it took a cruel war to get them to see eye to eye, but it is not too late.

Welcome, Mr. Scholz…; I hope the meetings will be successful…; Germany and Japan should always be close… very close.

note: the name in the headline is wrong. It’s Scholz, not Scholtz.

Will any Japanese reporters ask him if he knows who blew up the Nord Stream pipelines? It's kind of important because an extremely wide array of experts have called it greatest act of environmental terrorism ever. Yet strangely, the regimes in Western Europe and North America want to treat it like one of their failing banks, i.e. ignore it and it will go away.

China, China, China. My goodness the Japanese media is obsessed. The DW article on Scholz' visit only mentions China once saying that Japan is the 2nd largest trading partner in Asia after China.

German and Japanese were close ,they were the Axis during World War 2, now they are both defanged military powers Google Japan Germany Military Alliance

With all my respect to Japanese culture, to your friendly people..... look at the map... where China is and where Japan is.....Turn on the simplest logic! Germany is a weak-willed gasket that does not even care about its own people. You are being plunged into a new war and poverty with such a team
