The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relies significantly on human security measures, an integral component of which is the environment. The Japanese government considers the SDGs and environmental issues when deciding on the allocation of aid for human security to recipient countries. Japan offers a variety of human security-related services to South Asian countries and has initiated comprehensive human security programmes in the South Asian region. Through its diplomatic missions and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Japan is deeply engaged in South Asia and its commitment to upholding international peace and security includes a focus on the human security of South Asia. In addition, Japan aims to enhance bilateral connections by ensuring human security, which is a key goal of its ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ (FOIP) strategy. While Japan encounters challenges in its endeavours to promote human security, it has refrained from interfering in the internal affairs of South Asian countries. This article primarily seeks to analyze the essence and objectives of Japan’s human security efforts in South Asia, as well as to explore Japan’s interactions with the South Asian states
