Japan’s trade and industry minister said on Thursday that a ‘new world order’ is needed to counter the rise of authoritarian regimes which have thrived in post-Cold War free trade and economic interdependence.
« Authoritarian countries have amassed tremendous power, both economically and militarily, » said Yasutoshi Nishimura, Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, adding « We must rebuild a world order based on the fundamental values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
