Abe negotiates minefield of bias as he plays peacemaker

Sometimes, interference by a third party is needed if two countries at loggerheads with each other cannot see eye to eye and are highly anatagonistc and resentful towards each other. In such cases, a third party which is objective, and more crucially, a friend to both countries (and hence respected by both), can come in as the intermediary to help defuse the tensions and broker a peace agreement. Japan can be seen to be playing such a role here, sending messages from the US to Iran.

Qns: 
1.To what extent is it acceptable for one nation to meddle in the affairs of another? (CJC J2 Midyr 2019)
2. ‘Countries experiencing conflict should be left to sort out their own problems.’ How far do you agree? (Cam. 2016)
