Japan defence deal
THE UK and Japan have agreed a defence deal that will allow their national forces to “work more closely together”, according to Boris Johnson.
The Prime Minister, speaking in Downing Street alongside his Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida, said he is “so glad” the two nations have agreed a reciprocal access agreement (RAA) for armed services.
He said allies in Europe and east Asia have to be unified in the face of “autocratic, coercive powers”.
