[FM MOTEGI’s visit to the United States]
―Message from Atlanta―

I am here in Atlanta, Georgia, in the southeastern part of the U.S. to attend the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting. This is my first attendance to the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in 5 years.
The G20 is an important meeting where many of the major developed countries and the Global South countries get together all together. The G20 members account for approximately 80 percent of the world’s GDP. Under the U.S. presidency this year, discussions will be held on critical issues facing the international community, including energy security and strengthening the resilience of supply chains, as well as urgent regional situations such as the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific.
I will also participate in the QUAD Foreign Minsters’ Meeting taking place for the third time this year, as well as bilateral meetings with foreign ministers from various countries. Amidst an increasingly severe international environment, I will firmly advocate for Japan’s positions and the role we must play, thus lead the discussion.

FM MOTEGI held the Japan-Australia-India-U.S. (Quad) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting during his visit to Atlanta, the U.S. FM MOTEGI welcomed the convening of the Foreign Ministers’ Meeting for the third time this year, following the meetings in May and July. He stated that this meeting, held on the margins of the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, is a meaningful opportunity to demonstrate the outcomes of practical cooperation, particularly including in the economic field. The four ministers reaffirmed that they would steadily advance concrete cooperation among the Quad toward the realization of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP).
