In the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution, our founding fathers formulated the most important responsibilities of the government on the ground: to promote public welfare, enhance the nation’s intellectual life and participate in contributing to order and peace in the world.

The first two responsibilities are obviously fundamental to the government’s role and contributions in the global constellation, especially in executing independent and active foreign policy.
