BANGKOK -- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday held the last in a string of Southeast Asian summits aimed at helping to shape the international narrative on the conflict in Ukraine.
Kishida and Thai counterpart Prayuth Chan-ocha called for an immediate end to hostilities, along with humanitarian aid. Without criticizing Russia directly, they affirmed that unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force would not be tolerated and stressed the importance of international law on respecting countries' independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
