“ Malo lahi and many thanks Dr Kaitu'u 'i Panagi Funaki and Professor Yoichiro Sato for their refreshing take on Japan's Pacific Island Countries (PICs) diplomacy, where a strategic dialogue is highly desirable to the point of it being necessarily required, which I found to be both truly enlightening yet exciting and critically thought-provoking. A highly desirable yet strictly necessary strategic dialogue is, as clearly proposed and subtly pushed, therefore wanted, mainly in view of the sensitivity hanging over the delicate but intricate nature of the relationships between PICs and their foreign counterparts. How can tensions and resolutions then arising from this reality be mediated and managed through sustained symmetry, harmony and, more importantly, beauty when, for example, it comes to the PICs problematically shared foreign policy of "friends to all and enemy to none?" Can a diversity of intersecting or connecting and separating interests, demands or wants ever be brought to a common denominator, where you please all and displease none? This is when Dr Funaki's newly-developed but culturally-informed Philosophy of Relationality and Reciprocity (and now Generosity) -- in conjunction with the newly-emerged but critically-developed Tongan (and Moanan / Oceanian) Ta-Va (Time-Space) Philosophy of Reality (and of Existence) -- comes right into the whole equation. Herein, the sociopolitical relations (va [space]) between PICs and foreign powers are temporally-marked (ta [time]) through equitable reciprocal exchanges of socioeconomic obligations between them, ethically and morally guided by generosity as a noble human sentiment, on the international / global level -- as in the in the interesting case of Tongan tauhiva (keeping sociospatial relations) and faifatongia (performing socioeconomic obligations) and Samoan teuleva (keeping sociospatial relations) and tautua (performing socioeconomic obligations), both on both the local and regional levels. ”
