2020年，随着国际局势与国内形势的变化，日本对太平洋岛国的外交政策与外交定位进行了一些调整。在政治领域，日本进一步获得了太平洋岛国的信任，但对象有所侧重。在经济领域，日本进一步与太平洋岛国加强了合作，但合作的方式更加多元。在援助外交领域，日本进一步满足了太平洋岛国的诉求，但援助类别发生了变化。2021年，日本继续在原基础上加强与太平洋岛国的合作与交流。但受内外因素的影响，日本更偏重从地缘安全的角度考虑对太平洋岛国的外交策略。
In 2020，with the changes in the international and domestic situations，Japan has made some adjustments to the foreign policy and diplomatic positioning of the Pacific island countries. On the political issues，it has further gained the trust of the Pacific island countries，but the target is somewhat focused. In terms of economic diplomacy，cooperation with Pacific island countries has been further strengthened，but in more diversified ways. In the field of aid diplomacy，the needs of Pacific island countries have been further met，but the types of aid have changed. In 2021，Japan will continue to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with Pacific island countries on the original basis. However，influenced by internal and external factors，Japan will pay more attention to its diplomatic strategy with Pacific island countries from the perspective of geopolitical security.
