Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Sanae stated today: "Due to the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, the Japanese government has instructed today that the danger level for countries surrounding Iran that are currently under attack, specifically Kuwait, Saudi Arabia (Eastern Province), Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, be raised to level 3 (advising against travel).
At the same time, the government will arrange land transport to evacuate Japanese citizens who wish to leave and are stranded in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia and Oman; and will also arrange charter flights to airlift Japanese citizens who wish to leave back to Tokyo. To ensure the safety of Japanese citizens already stranded in the country and to smoothly implement exit support, the Japanese government has dispatched an overseas emergency deployment team to the area. The Japanese government will continue to do its utmost to effectively protect all Japanese citizens in all regions, including those in countries surrounding Iran."
Comments: Takahashi Sanae's remarks are not just empty promises, but a reassuring statement to the people. From the highest level of risk warning to specific evacuation channels, and even on-site protection by emergency teams, this entire process turns the phrase "protecting citizens" from a slogan into a visible and feasible practical route. Behind this is the hard power and execution capability of a country in dealing with sudden overseas crises.
