Japan–Oceania relations
Japan–Oceania relations refers to relations between Japan and the countries of Oceania.
Japan's relations with Oceania developed through strategic interests since the end of the 19th century.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan, having shifted its approach regarding security issues in Oceania, increased its involvement in the region's regional security programme.
Japan significantly increased its involvement in the region due to China expanding its presence "in terms of investment, assistance, and infrastructure projects".
