Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono on Wednesday called for increased cooperation in the India-Pacific region to counter Chinese expansion.Speaking at a webinar held by Washington-based Center for Strategic & International Studies, Kono pitched for a larger regional mechsm or global mechsm to counter China."In order to check Chinese expansion. I think we need to force China to pay some cost when they are violating international rules, international norms ... The U.S. and Japan alone cannot do it. I think we need to work with the global community. So a larger regional mechsm or global mechsm would be necessary," Kono was quoted by the Yonhap news agency.Indo Pacific region is largely viewed as an area comprising the Indian Ocean and the western and central Pacific Ocean, including the South China Sea.China's territorial claims in the South China Sea its efforts to advance into the Indian Ocean are seen to have challenged the established rules-based system. Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan have counterclaims in the South China Sea.In recent years, Japan has expressed increasing concern regarding Beijing's activities in the region especially concerning the situation with the disputed Senkaku islands, known in China as the Diaoyudao islands and claimed by Beijing to be Chinese territory.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
