  "account": "Japanese and Polish foreign ministers met on Monday in Slovakia to coordinate support for Ukraine's recovery, according to Kyodo. The meeting aimed to work closely together, recognizing that Europe and Asia's security are interconnected. Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and his Polish counterpart, Radoslaw Sikorski, emphasized Poland's role as a key business hub for Ukraine's reconstruction efforts and discussed ways to promote assistance. Motegi, who is currently on a four-nation tour including Turkmenistan, Austria, and Mongolia, agreed with Sikorski to collaborate with the European Union and like-minded countries to foster and safeguard critical technologies. During separate talks with Slovakian Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar, Motegi further affirmed his commitment to deepening economic cooperation, noting that 60 Japanese companies, including automotive parts manufacturers, operate in Slovakia. Prior to the Slovakian visit, Motegi met Turkmenistan's Foreign Minister, Rashid Meredov, in Central Asia, where they agreed to strengthen bilateral ties in areas such as natural resources, energy, and artificial intelligence. Additionally, Motegi pledged to promote cooperation in cutting-edge technology at a subsequent meeting with foreign ministers from the Visegrad 4, a regional framework consisting of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The ministers stressed the importance of avoiding excessive economic dependence on specific countries and building resilient supply chains.",
