Moreover, Abe has settled a nettlesome dispute with the United States over its military bases on the island of Okinawa, thereby fortifying Japan’s relationship with its main ally. And, by reinterpreting Article 9 of the constitution to allow Japan to exercise “collective self-defense” and provide aid to an ally under attack, Abe has made Japan a far more reliable partner for the US and its Asian allies.
此外，安倍还化解了日美在冲绳军事基地问题上的棘手纠纷，从而强化了日本与其主要盟友的关系。而且，通过重新解释宪法第9条授权日本行使“集体自卫权”并为遭受袭击的盟友提供援助，安倍已经巩固了日本与美国及亚洲盟国的伙伴关系。
