JAKARTA -- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stood beside Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo on Friday to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, showcasing their unity on his first leg of a five-nation tour framed as "protecting peace."
"Unilateral changes to the status quo by force are unacceptable, and we affirmed that we will urge a peaceful resolution to conflict based on international law," Kishida said at a joint news conference held after their summit.
