Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba left Tokyo's Haneda Airport on a government plane Sunday for a tour of Vietnam and the Philippines.
   "Cooperation between Japan and Southeast Asia is extremely important," Ishiba told reporters at his official residence in Tokyo ahead of his departure for Hanoi, Vietnam, the first destination of his tour.
   "China has made unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force," Ishiba said, with the country's maritime expansion in the South China Sea in mind. "We want to further strengthen security cooperation" with Southeast Asia, he added.
   Referring to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff measures, the prime minister said that Japanese companies operating in Vietnam and the Philippines are also affected by the measures. He said he wants to hear the opinions of such companies so that they could be reflected in his government's policies.
   After arriving in Hanoi later in the day, Ishiba will meet with To Lam, general secretary of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party, the country's supreme leader. He will also visit the Thang Long Industrial Park, where many Japanese companies operate, and hold a roundtable dialogue with officials of such companies.
