Japan–Oceania relations
Japan–Oceania relations refers to relations between Japan and the countries of Oceania.[1][2][3]
Japan's relations with Oceania developed through strategic interests since the end of the 19th century.[4]
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan, having shifted its approach regarding security issues in Oceania, increased its involvement in the region's regional security programme.[3]
Japan significantly increased its involvement in the region due to China expanding its presence "in terms of investment, assistance, and infrastructure projects".[3]
