TOKYO, April 5 (Reuters) - The foreign and defence ministers
of Japan and Germany are looking to hold a "2 plus 2" dialogue
online in mid-April, the daily Yomiuri reported on Monday.
The "2 plus 2" talks will be the first among the two
countries, and they are expected to discuss ways to defence and
a "free and open Indo-Pacific" in face of an increasingly
assertive China, the report said, citing multiple unidentified
sources.
Although the exact schedule is not yet confirmed, the two
parties are looking to speak on April 16, the Yomiuri also said.
Countries such as the United States and Japan have become
increasingly alarmed as China takes an increasingly aggressive
foreign policy approach in the Indo-Pacific region.
A German frigate expected to set sail for Asia in August
will become the first German warship to cross the South China
Sea since 2002 on its return journey.
