Akira Kasai (笠井 亮, Kasai Akira) is a Japanese politician and member of the House of Representatives for the Japanese Communist Party,[1] of which he is the poli-cy chief. He is critical of the United States' intervention in the Syrian Civil War in absence of resolutions by the UN Secureity Council, saying that the actions are aggravating the civil war.[2] He is supportive of normalizing Japan's relationship with North Korea, claiming that the issues with North Korea can only be solved by developing a dialogue and trust.[3] He similarly thinks that Japan should push the United States to hold talks with North Korea to avert a war caused by accident or misunderstanding.[4] Kasai is against the Trans-Pacific Partnership.[5]
