After calling Taiwan a “country” last week, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga also said that he supports Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA). But this time, it wasn’t because of “spoken words.”

According to Taiwan’s “China Times News Network” report, Yoshihide Suga expressed at the G7 summit on the 12th local time that he supports Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly as an observer. He also claimed that “in the global response to the new crown epidemic, there should be no geographic gaps.”

On the previous day (11th), the Japanese Senate also unanimously passed the so-called resolution to support Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly.

As soon as Yoshihide Suga made his remarks, the Taiwan authorities immediately responded enthusiastically. Taiwan’s foreign affairs department said, “Suga’s remarks further highlight the importance and urgency of Taiwan’s participation in the WHO, and also symbolize that the friendship between Taiwan and Japan has become stronger and stronger. Japan’s warm support will be remembered in the heart.”

In fact, on the occasion of the 74th World Health Assembly held last month, the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven countries had publicized Taiwan-related issues and issued a so-called joint statement to invite Taiwan to participate. But then, the President of the 74th World Health Assembly clearly announced that Taiwan-related proposals would not be included in the agenda of the meeting.

In this regard, Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, once pointed out that Taiwan’s political lie about the so-called “international epidemic prevention gap” is only an excuse for the DPP authorities to use the epidemic to seek “independence.” The DPP authorities refused to recognize the “92 Consensus,” which embodies the one-China principle, and stubbornly adhered to the separatist stand of “Taiwan independence,” which led to the disappearance of the political basis for Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly.

The Governor of Chang’an Avenue noted that Japanese officials such as Yoshihide Suga have been making “small moves” on Taiwan-related issues recently. In Japan, Yoshihide Suga’s government has been criticized for fighting the new crown epidemic and the organization of the Tokyo Olympics.

According to “Yomiuri Shimbun” reports, Suga Yoshihide met with the Japanese Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare and the Minister of Economic Regeneration at the Prime Minister’s residence on the 15th to discuss the possibility of lifting the pandemic emergency declaration in 10 prefectures on the 20th of this month.

Yukio Edano, representative of the Cadet Party, pointed out that the continued ruling of Yoshihide Suga’s cabinet will put people’s lives and lives in a greater crisis.

BTS is the global ambassador of Louis Vuitton. This shows how much the cultural shift has changed when Korean group BTS has just been announced as Louis Vuitton’s ambassador. The French fashion house expressed, “World-famous pop icon BTS is recognized for its inspirational messages that bring about a positive influence. Louis Vuitton is delighted to welcome members RM, Jin, SUGA, J-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook.” On the personal page, Virgil Abloh, the brand’s creative director of menswear, expressed, “We welcome BTS to join Louis Vuitton as an ambassador. We are really looking forward to collaborating with BTS, starting a new chapter for Louis Vuitton through the fusion of luxury and contemporary culture. We want to reveal our exciting projects as soon as possible.” BTS delighted the audience by wearing Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2021 menswear collection at the 2021 Grammy Awards. Abloh’s use of the word contemporary is interesting. BTS has a huge fan base of Generation Z, but more than that, the group represents a break from traditional Hollywood standards of beauty. Choosing BTS as the face of the brand shows that Abloh has a new vision for the future of Louis Vuitton. The company’s global Instagram page is now flooded with BTS photos, including images of the group wearing designer clothes to the Grammy Awards earlier this year. The group is also very fond of the brand’s clothes and often wears them in music videos, magazine photos or even in real life. With its influence, many times Louis Vuitton products “sold out” because they were worn by BTS members. BTS isn’t the only K-pop star to enter the world of luxury fashion in this way. Previously, the girl group BLACKPINK with 4 girls were the “jewels” of high-end fashion brands such as Chanel, Celine, Saint Laurent and Díor. Rosé, who recently joined Saint Laurent’s full campaign, was immediately appointed this year as a global ambassador for Tiffany & Co. Meanwhile, as an ambassador, Jisoo inspired the creative director of Dior to launch the Dior Cruise 2022 collection. Lisa is Celine’s first global ambassador and Heidi’s “baby” Slimane.

Armani Beauty has appointed Chinese actor and singer Yi Yang as its new global ambassador for makeup and skin care. Japanese model Koki has also recently become the face of the brand Estée Lauder. Rosé becomes a global ambassador for Tiffany & Co. Many industry experts question whether this rapid change of fashion brands with this series of new campaigns in Asia can be related to the pandemic? “It doesn’t have the biggest luxury-buying demographic in Europe,” said Rocky Chi, an expert at London-based Melody Communications. The pandemic has caused sales to plummet and brands have to cope. Faced with the fact that the largest percentage of their customers are from Asia.” Charlie Gu, a marketing expert based between Shanghai in China and San Francisco in the US, agrees. He said: “Asia, especially the China region, has made an important contribution to the profits of luxury brands during the Covid-19 pandemic. So it’s no surprise that brands elevate Asian celebrities to global ambassadors to boost the region’s shopping potential, in hopes of boosting sales, overcoming crisis”. Dich Duong Thien Ty is an ambassador for many high-end fashion brands. While some Asian stars are not widely known in the West, for some brands, this is simply not an issue. Before that, many Hollywood stars were not particularly famous in China or Asia but still appeared on billboards in these countries. With the rise in popularity of beauty routines and the dominance of Asian customers in the world of luxury fashion, it is up to brands to focus on what Asian customers want and simply hope to promote shopping in Western markets. “K-pop’s global appeal and influence and the growing recognition of Asian talent in Hollywood have driven this shift,” added Gu. It’s really been a breakout year for Asian talent.As these Asian celebrities tend to appeal to younger audiences, choosing them as global ambassadors could also help close the age gap. on luxury spending in the West and helping brands expand their appeal to younger demographics.” Japanese beauty, Koki is the face of cosmetic brand Estee Lauder. In addition, high-fashion brands need to get rid of the long-standing inequality label of putting white people at the center of all advertising campaigns. In addition, acts of racism, especially against Asians, have increased dramatically during the pandemic – such as the horrific shooting deaths of eight people (including six Asian women) in Atlanta in Georgia. on March 16 caused outrage. The wave of protecting Asians around the world with the hashtag #StopAsianHate trend flooded social networks. In solidarity with the Asian community, prominent fashion figures including Anna Sui, Phillip Lim and Susie Bubble have spoken out about the importance of promoting Asian designers and models. , while promoting more diversity and inclusiveness in fashion. “Growing up, there weren’t many Asian representations in fashion,” designer Jason Wu said in a March article for fashion magazine Vogue. “It is more important than ever that we stand up as a community to promote, support change and acceptance.” The time for Asian celebrities to be recognized and established in the fashion field has also come.

This is also the first high-end fashion brand to invite BTS to be an ambassador, before that, although the group wore costumes of many famous fashion houses, but never accepted to be an ambassador for any brand. BTS has officially cooperated with four of the 10 most valuable global brands: Coca-Cola, Samsung and most recently LV and McDonald’s. Among luxury fashion brands, Louis Vuitton is the brand with the highest brand value globally, then Chanel, Hermès, Gucci … Louis Vuitton is also the only high-end fashion brand named in the Top 10. the most valuable global brand in 2020 (ranked first by Apple). After hearing this information, netizen jokingly, it is true that the group with the highest brand name value is different, choosing the brand as the fashion brand ambassador must also choose the brand with the highest brand value!

The statement came days after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga stressed that the Japanese military would not engage in any military situation around Taiwan. The Japanese leader asserted that the mention of Taiwan in his joint statement with the United States did not make assumptions about Japanese military involvement. Taiwan claims to defend itself after Japan’s declaration of non-interference. (Photo: EPA-EFE) After meeting at the White House last week, Mr. Suga and President Biden issued a joint statement, which outlined “the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait”. Both leaders encouraged the peaceful settlement of cross-strait Taiwan issues. In a statement released on April 22, Taiwan’s diplomatic mission said the US-Japan defense alliance is the foundation for peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and is referenced in a joint statement. reflecting the two countries’ strong consensus on security in the Taiwan Strait and Indo-Pacific. The statement also noted Mr. Suga’s earlier assertion that the dispute in the Taiwan Strait should be settled by peaceful means. “We welcome the international community’s concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait… and it is our responsibility to protect the security of the island. Taiwan will continue to liaise and cooperate closely with the US, Japan and like-minded countries in maintaining stability in the strait as well as maintaining security and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region – Pacific”, the statement clearly stated. China has always asserted that Taiwan is an inseparable territory and does not rule out the possibility of using force to unify the island. The Chinese military’s time increased military operations near Taiwan as tensions between Washington and Beijing escalated.

Zhao Lijian: The U.S. body is very honest, “Like it while banning it”

On April 15, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. Zhao Lijian said that some Japanese politicians tried their best to prove the innocence of nuclear waste water, and then asked them to use nuclear waste water for drinking, cooking, washing clothes or irrigation. Ask them to ensure that seafood will not be contaminated by nuclear waste water.

Zhao Lijian also said that Japan should not think that it has received the gratitude of the United States. The United States is physically honest. While liking, the import of Japanese rice, fish and other products is prohibited. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration emphasized that due to public health issues related to radiation and nuclear contamination, it has strengthened the supervision of Japan’s controlled products. I don’t know what Japan’s explanation is for this US policy?

On April 13, the Japanese government formally decided to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea. US State Department spokesperson Ned Price and US Secretary of State Brinken subsequently tweeted to express “appreciation” and “thank you” for Japan’s decision. It looks like a “good brother”.

However, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously updated No. 99-33 Import Alert, a series of Japanese foods are still prohibited from entering the United States.

The Japanese foods involved include: milk, butter, dry dairy products; fish, sea urchins, clams and other marine biological products; meat, meat products and poultry (beef, boar, bear, deer, duck, hare and pheasant products); vegetables, Citrus, pomelo, kiwi, etc., involve many places such as Aomori, Fukushima, Miyagi, Nagano, and Tochigi. It is worth noting that the FDA emphasized: “Due to public health issues related to radiation and nuclear contamination, the FDA has strengthened its surveillance of Japanese controlled products.”

About more than a decade ago, gender Underground Korea has 3 characters, although young but soon famous for their talents, they are rappers Runch Randa and Gloss and street dancer Smile Hoya. Today, we know them by the names RM, SUGA and j-hope of BTS.

SUGA – RM – j-hope

RM – Kim Namjoon, SUGA – Min Yoongi, j-hope – Jung Hoseok are respectively the first 3 “pieces” of the group. At that time, BTS was determined to follow the Hip-Hop style, so they knew how to rap and write lyrics Raps are required. This is really a tough challenge for Hoseok – who has never raped before. Yoongi and Namjoon have contributed to helping Hoseok step by step conquer the challenge called Rap. Perhaps that is why, at the beginning, after debuting, it was difficult for fans to recognize j-hope’s rap because it sounded a bit like SUGA. However, more and more later, through each time comeback, the more j-hope you can show off your own personality.

RM

From the day when j-hope found her own style, the ARMYs stopped “confusing” in determining “who raps this part”. RM’s voice – main rapper most recognizable because it is very thick and super low. Rapper American veteran Warren G collaborated with RM on the song PDD in 2015 commented on RM: “He has great flow, style and rhythm. When I listen to Rap Monster’s rapping, I see that he looks like a rapper from America ”.

SUGA

SUGA – lead rapper has the ability to rap super fast (as in Cypher pt.2) but the guy doesn’t abuse this in every segment. The attraction of SUGA is flow rap rhythmically up and down, but ARMY often jokes as if he is drunk, making ARMY spoiled for “hugging his heart.” SUGA also has absolute sense of sound – a godly ability that is very rare to have and this also allows SUGA to control and change the rap and voice. flow easily at will.

j-hope

Different from the dark, heavy, and complicated rap style of RM and SUGA, sub rapper j-hope stands out with vibe bright. j-hope yes flow very special, full of dynamism, combined with ad-lib – an impromptu improvisation when performing so he can “manipulate” the crowd, making people unable to help but dance to his rhythm and lyrics.

j-hope can also make a rich rap voice, as in Base Line, he rapped with 4 different voice colors. Or like Airplane and Airplane pt.2, j-Hope’s rap in these two songs is exactly the same lyrics, just different flow. Besides, j-hope also has a good sense of rhythm due to being a dancer and vocal His own is also very good, so j-hope’s rap parts tend to be “half rap half singing”.

The lyrics masters

Rap stands for Rhythm and Poetry should one measure to define one rapper it is really whether that person can write his own rap or not. This one then rap-line BTS has been doing very well not only in quantity but also in quality. In the list of KOMCA (Korea Music Copyright Association), each guy pocketed more than 110 songs, RM even reached the top. Rap-line BTS is not only lyricist but also songwriter and producer.

Talking about the lyrics, the 3 guys are 3 different colors. Love poetry since childhood, RM is the one who wrote the most beautiful and poetic lyrics of the trio. RM’s strengths are his superior puns, such as:

• “Love is a maze damn / But you is amaze, yeah ”(Love Maze).

• “Us” is just plural of “U” (134340): “Us” is just the plural of “U”.

• “Been calling your name in this whole universe/ (Now I need no space) / I got youniverse”(Heartbeat).

RM

Two of RM’s pun peaks are his solo song – Trivia: Love and Seoul Town Road (with Lil Nas X).

Love is a play on Korean words between “people” [사람- Saram] and love” [사랑- sarang], as:

• 넌 나의 모든 모서 릴 잠식 나를 사랑, 사랑, 사랑 으로 만들어 만들어

“You erode every aspect of me / Make me here become love, love, love”

In order for 사람 (human) to turn into 사랑 (love), the edges in ㅁ must become soft for ㅁ to become ㅇ. In addition, “angular” is also used to describe human personality. An “angular” person is a difficult and difficult person to approach. “You” are the ones that melt the “mine” corners, turning him into a loving person (or being loved).

Seoul Town Road is a genius pun with 2 layers of meanings in English and Korean:

“I got the homis in my bag / Have you heard of that? / Homis made of steel, from Korea, they the be-e-est / Ridin ‘to the farm / Grabbin’ all the corn / We gon ‘get yo’ money with my homi in your backyard ”.

This is the paragraph lyrics purely in English, but when transcribed the word “homis” in Korean means “plow”, the lyrics This will take on a completely different class of meaning.

RM also likes to use metaphorical images, quotes and maxims in lyrics, making ARMY unable to stop saying, “IQ148 really can’t be kidding!”

SUGA

Unlike RM, SUGA often writes these lyrics very harsh and thorny, to be honest with the opponent, like: “The kids just flutter their lips and dance” (Daechwita), or advise the opponent in Cypher pt.2: “Find a part-time job and do it”.

j-hope

j-hope always gives off a bright glow and he brings this in lyrics mine. Even if you don’t know Korean, you may not even know that j-hope is diss haters always because the melody sounds very cheerful. Thing lyrics j-hope’s sound is gentle but also very sharp, such as this sentence in Airplane: “Spend a little bit to those who can’t fly / Give gifts to people with points earned from flights”.

3 rappers with vocals “cut the heart”

If watching I Need U the guys changed line for each other or more recently the show You Quiz On The Block then you think rapper-line BTS must sing very well, then you “baby the wrong” already. RM and SUGA can’t “swing” the high notes, but at lower intervals they both sing really well. You can hear RM’s voice with V in 4 o’clock or listen to SUGA sing Seasaw Let’s try. As for j-hope vocal “Good pressure” in the past. ARMYs were surprised to hear that j-hope took the part hidden vocal (pre-recorded vocals and fused with background music) in many BTS songs. With songs like Make It Right good Spring Day (on stage performance), j-hope also changed to singing.

Pride is named rapper-line

BTS is one of the few self-produced K-Pop groups. Therefore, it can be said rapper-line are the people who have great merit in creating the musical personality for BTS because RM – SUGA – j-hope is the main composers of the group. Referring to BTS, fans will immediately remember that it was an orchestrated group rapper very good quality, much higher than the general level of the idol rapper usually, common, normal.

BTS is also a group that has songs with lyrics Meaningful, sincere and profound, not only revolves around love but also talks about problems of young people and society. Originally from a Hip-Hop group, BTS still retains its signature Hip-Hop quality, while at the same time reconciling many other genres to challenge themselves and get closer to the majority of the music-loving public.

RM – SUGA – j-hope also makes ARMY proud because the achievements of all three are so high that BTS sometimes has to give up. Typical as in Top 15 Albums Korean artists won No.1 in iTunes in most countries and regions, BTS took 7 positions in the Top 10, but from No.4 to No.10. The 3 leading positions are 3 guys rapper BTS house, in it mixtape mono. by RM all-kill absolute with 120/120 No.1 iTunes. Agust D (SUGA) with mixtape D-2 reach No.2 (107 No.1 iTunes) and j-hope No.3 with 105 No.1 iTunes for mixtape Hope World.

– Rap Monster is an old stage name of RM.

Nikkei Asia newspaper quoted sources as saying that this employee was called “Mr. Y” in the Japanese intelligence community. He once told contacts in Tokyo that he was ill. Some government sources say Japan and North Korea have lost a “behind-the-scenes negotiation channel”.

Japan and North Korea have no diplomatic relations, and efforts to normalize relations have become strained because of the past abductions of Japanese citizens and Pyongyang’s nuclear program.

According to sources, “Mr. Y” is known to be a subordinate of “Mr. X” – a senior North Korean security official who paved the way for a first-ever bilateral summit. was held in 2002 between the late North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and then Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

Along with “Mr. X”, this liaison officer took part in negotiations regarding Mr. Koizumi’s 2002 visit to North Korea. He is also in charge of negotiating a 2014 bilateral agreement signed in Stockholm on negotiating principles aimed at addressing kidnapping in the past.

In 2014, he informed Japan that two men missing in the late 1970s were still living in North Korea. These two, Minoru Tanaka, went missing at the age of 28 after boarding a plane to Vienna at Narita Airport, and Tatsumitsu Kaneda working at the same ramen shop as Tanaka. Meanwhile, Pyongyang has repeatedly stated that Tanaka has never entered North Korea.

Japan officially lists 17 people kidnapped by North Korea, of which five were repatriated after the landmark 2002 summit in which leader Kim Jong-il admitted North Korea kidnapped. Japanese citizenship.

“Mr. Y” also acts as the mediator for a secret meeting in Mongolia in 2014 between Mr. Shigeru Yokota and Ms. Sakie Yokota, 85, the parents of the kidnapping victim Megumi Yokota and her niece. Megumi Kim Eun-gyong.

Megumi Yokota, who was kidnapped in 1977 at the age of 13, was on her way home from school. She has become the symbol of Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korea.

Along with the families of the other kidnapped people, Sakie Yokota met with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga last week to call for the early repatriation of their loved ones ahead of scheduled talks between the prime minister and US President Joe Biden. took place on April 16 in Washington.

The unidentified employee, the sources said, succeeded “Mr. X” about 10 years ago, and entered into negotiations with Japan in a third country such as China and Mongolia.

Fluent in Japanese, he communicated with Japanese officials on his anti-eavesdropping cell phone. He is believed to have had a disease related to the brain or circulatory system, but may have been fired amid negotiations between Japan and North Korea stalled.

Prime Minister Suga, who served as a kidnapping minister under his predecessor Shinzo Abe, said after taking office last September that he was ready to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Jong Il’s son without prerequisites.

But now, Mr. Suga is struggling to find a new negotiating channel when Pyongyang closes its border to the COVID-19 pandemic prevention.

What appears to be the only door of opportunity now closed after North Korea decided not to participate in the Tokyo Olympics this summer, also citing the need to prevent viral infections.

President Suga’s office declined to comment.

Mr. Song Il-ho is the Korean Ambassador in charge of negotiating the normalization of relations with Japan. However, the Japanese government source said he was not one of the secret negotiators with more decision-making power.

To be sure, the two leaders will also discuss how to deal with a rising China, North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs, climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Narrow a large cognitive gap

For now, the Biden administration will put an emphasis on promoting cooperation with allies, including Japan, and this is warmly welcomed by America’s allies. .

However, as China continues to rise and the US is urging its allies to assume greater responsibility in international affairs, there is a danger of a large gap between the US and Japan. awareness.

Although Japan is very concerned about China’s behavior, in recent years Tokyo has maintained a cooperative rather than an adversarial approach.

In October 2018, former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo visited Beijing, and Japan signed memoranda of understanding with China on more than 50 joint projects related to infrastructure construction in third countries. .

Chinese President Xi Jinping was scheduled to make a state visit to Japan in April 2020, but the tour was subsequently postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Under Prime Minister Suga, figures of “doves” and “hawks” toward China in Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) often fought for influence.

The hawks have sought ways to postpone Xi Jinping’s state visit when it comes to Xinjiang and Hong Kong issues. LDP Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai, a supporter of Prime Minister Suga, opposed the delay, but the visit is not expected to take place in 2021.

Although Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi urged China to resolve the Xinjiang issue, Tokyo still shied away from imposing economic sanctions on its neighbor because of its lack of legal frameworks. like that.

Therefore, the US should prepare mentally that Japan will adopt a more moderate approach towards China. Japan will certainly continue to strengthen the role and mission of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF) within the framework of the Peace Constitution and the US-Japan alliance.

At the same time, Japan will also seek a clear commitment from the United States to avert Chinese military provocations, especially around the Senkaku Islands (which China also claims and calls for). Diaoyu) after China passed a new Customs Law last month, granting China’s coast guard the right to use weapons.

Analysts say the US will certainly be disappointed if it wants Japan to take significantly more aggressive military action against China. Although Japan passed a security law in 2015 that allowed the SDF to engage in limited collective defense activities, constitutional restrictions essentially forbid Japan from using force for purposes of does not involve defense.

Furthermore, the Japanese public still supports Article 9 – the peace clause – in the Rape and has little desire for the SDF to engage in combat missions that pose a risk of casualties.

Get cooperation back on track

About North Korea, both leaders advocated adopting a tough approach. Unlike his predecessor, Donald Trump, Mr. Biden is not too close to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Mr. Suga will be anxious to express his tough stance towards North Korea in the face of domestic public opinion when asking for US assistance to repatriate Japanese citizens previously kidnapped by North Korea.

President Biden had to find a way to reassure the US-Japan-Korea trilateral partnership that Trump has ignored. The key bottleneck here, however, remains tensions between Japan and South Korea over forced labor – issues that have engulfed the enthusiasm of cooperation between the two countries even though they share a common desire to curb the chapter. North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

Addressing climate change and fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic will be a “fertile ground” for the US-Japan to promote cooperation.

Regarding climate change, President Biden quickly brought the US back to the Paris Agreement and is scheduled to hold a climate summit with 40 world leaders from April 22-23.

Prime Minister Suga pledged that Japan will reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050.

Since the financial institutions of the US and Japan lead the world in supporting the use of coal, under the leadership of these two countries, it is likely that the world will be promoted to transform energy, without using fuel. fossils that turn to renewable energy could eventually forge clean energy partnerships.

With regard to Covid-19, Since Japan and the US have a long history of cooperation in international health, the lack of cooperation between the two countries in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic is surprising. A lot of people fear that the Tokyo Olympics will turn into a super infectious event this pandemic.

More communication against Covid-19 did not yield much results. This includes Japan’s use of a supercomputer in an AI-based Covid-19 study, American doctors’ experience in treating Covid-19 patients, and the logistics of government vaccination. Mr. Biden.

Japan and the US could also support more multilateral efforts, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the EU-operated Covid Tool Access Accelerator, to help stop the spread of spread globally and vaccinate people around the world before the emergence of resistant mutations.

The US-Japan summit provides an important opportunity to get bilateral cooperation back on track. However, to best strengthen cooperation and close the perception gap, these two allies should not shy away from discussions regarding thorny issues.
