On October 27, 2025, the Japanese Parliamentary Committee for World Federation hosted the \u201cUN 80th Anniversary Forum\u201d at the House of Representatives in Tokyo. Tshilidzi Marwala<\/strong>, Rector of the United Nations University (headquartered in Tokyo) and UN Under-Secretary-General, and Siddharth Chatterjee<\/strong>, the UN Resident Coordinator in China visiting from Beijing, joined Diet members, scholars, and UN practitioners to discuss how to renew multilateralism amid global turbulence.<\/p>\n

Opening the forum, Banri Kaieda<\/strong> reviewed Japan\u2019s longstanding commitment to international cooperation and peace diplomacy. Tetsuro Fukuyama<\/strong>, Vice President of the House of Councillors, shared takeaways from the G20 Speakers\u2019 Summit, underscoring the rule of law and parliamentary diplomacy. Representing civil society, Mitsuo Ohashi<\/strong>, President of the World Federalist Movement of Japan, reaffirmed the vision of reforming and strengthening international institutions and law toward an eventual world federation.<\/p>\n

In the first keynote, Rector Marwala<\/strong> highlighted Japan\u2019s decades of support as the UN turns 80 and UNU 50, noting UNU\u2019s growth to a 13-institute network across 12 countries and his plan to engage citizens across all 47 prefectures\u2014grounded in Japan\u2019s spirit of harmony as a basis for peace, dignity, and sustainable development. Chatterjee<\/strong> then framed the Summit of the Future<\/strong> and its Pact for the Future<\/strong> as a \u201cnorth star\u201d for revitalizing multilateralism, arguing that cooperation among Japan, China, and Korea<\/strong> can drive a renewed order. Drawing on China\u2019s poverty-eradication experience, he underscored political will, sound public policy, and robust partnerships. The Q&A explored East Asian architecture (including AIP ideas) and collaboration on human rights, climate, and public health\u2014reaffirming Japan\u2019s trust-building leadership rooted in history and wisdom.<\/p>\n

Statements from parties followed. Masahiro K\u014dmura<\/strong> (LDP) stressed that, given Japan\u2019s low food and energy self-sufficiency, world peace and stability constitute Japan\u2019s paramount national interest. Hiroyuki Moriyama<\/strong> (CDP) emphasized sustainable core funding for multilateral institutions. Akihiro Kagoshima<\/strong> (DPP) drew on OECD experience to call for coordinated action on global challenges. Hitoshi Aoyagi<\/strong> (Ishin) urged seizing the crisis as an opportunity to renew the UN. Akira Koike<\/strong> (JCP) linked the UN Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights to Japan\u2019s constitutional ideals. LaSalle Ishii<\/strong> (SDP) highlighted diplomacy consistent with Article 9, while Naoto Sakaguchi<\/strong> (Reiwa) stressed safeguarding democracy and human dignity. Eisei Kawaharada<\/strong> (CDP) argued for restoring Japan\u2019s regional presence through green innovation, with discussants noting youth leadership as pivotal.<\/p>\n
