Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida says he will stress the need for a rules-based international order when he attends a meeting of the Organizations for Economic Cooperation and Development in Paris. Kishida begins a six-day trip abroad in Paris, where he is scheduled to give a keynote speech at the OECD ministerial meeting on Thursday. He said he plans to step up efforts to support emerging countries, especially those in the Indo-Pacific region, to join the OECD, whose 38 member nations are mostly developed Western economies.
