Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will attend this year's Asia Security Summit, also known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, slated to start in Singapore on June 10, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said Wednesday.
   Kishida will deliver a keynote speech, where he is expected to call for international security cooperation following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as tout efforts to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific region.
   He will be the first Japanese prime minister to attend the meeting since Shinzo Abe did so in 2014.
   Kishida is expected to hold talks with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during his June 10-11 trip to the Southeast Asia country.
   The Shangri-La Dialogue is organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, bringing together defense ministers from Asia, the United States and Europe. It was called off in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
