That is a very tough question.
I will give you the same answer I gave Mr. Kmiec. I will repeat that peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait are very important not only for the security of Japan but also for the stability of the international community as a whole. That has been Japan's consistent position for a long time. It expects the issues surrounding Taiwan to be resolved peacefully through dialogue.
Based upon this recognition, Prime Minister Kishida took the lead at Hiroshima among the G7 leaders when they came up with a statement regarding Taiwan, urging a peaceful resolution if there are any issues there and also the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Having said that, the Japanese government takes every possible measure to ensure the protection of Japanese land, people and prosperity. That is all about Taiwan.
Regarding defence spending, by the 2027 fiscal year, the Japanese government intends to increase it by up to 2% of the size of its 2022 GDP. That is much easier than doubling our defence spending and is supported by the people. We see the complexities and difficulties in the security situation surrounding Japan.
