Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has wrapped up a busy few days for Japanese diplomacy. Kishida met with U.S. President Joe Biden, who was on an official trip to Asia, and hosted a Quad summit with Biden and the leaders of Australia and India. These meetings came as the international order is being shaken by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and other events. This is the third and final part of a series exploring some of the challenges confronting Japan.

According to a source, when the talks expanded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi apparently remarked that a trial must be held as it's considered a war crime.
