Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is scheduled to make a diplomatic debut by attending various meetings related to ASEAN in Kuala Lumpur this weekend.

Takaichi, who was elected Japan's first female prime minister on Tuesday (21/10), is scheduled to make a three-day visit to Malaysia starting Saturday.

After returning to Japan, he will meet with US President Donald Trump in Tokyo.

On Sunday, he plans to meet ASEAN leaders and participate in the Asian Emissions Zero Community Summit, a decarbonization framework launched by Japan.

"ASEAN, which is located at an important geopolitical intersection and functions as a global growth center, is the key to creating a free and open Indo-Pacific," said Chief Cabinet Secretary Minuru Kihara on Friday, October 24, reported by ANTARA from Kyodo.

Japan intends to take advantage of the series of meetings as an opportunity to further strengthen cooperation with ASEAN's "trust partners", he added.

Takaichi also seeks to regulate bilateral talks with other leaders of participating countries.
