NHK reported on the disclosure by LDP Research Council Chairwoman Takaichi this morning that she learned from MOFA that India had turned down a Japanese proposal to send SDF aircraft to collect relief supplies held there by the UNHCR for delivery to Ukrainians taking shelter in Poland and other neighboring countries. Japan plans to mobilize SDF airplanes to airlift to Ukraine’s neighbors blankets and other relief goods by collecting them from India, the UAE, and other third countries holding such supplies. New Delhi, which had initially approved Tokyo’s proposal, told the GOJ last night that the plan was unacceptable. The GOJ must now come up with a new plan.
