The national security advisers of the US, Japan and the Philippines held their first joint talks Friday and agreed to strengthen their defense cooperation.
FILE - White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan takes a question from a reporter at a press briefing at the White House in Washington, Monday, April 24, 2023. National security advisors from the United States, Japan and the Philippines, in their first such trilateral talks Friday, June 16, 2023 agreed to strengthen their defense cooperation, as Washington and its partners seek to reinforce their alliances to adapt to growing tensions over North Korea, China and Ukraine, Sullivan said.
Sullivan said the “path-breaking” new trilateral framework is part of multiple alliances involving the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, including three-way cooperation with Japan and South Korea and the Quad security dialogue with Australia, India and Japan. The three security advisers discussed opportunities for joint naval exercises in Indo-Pacific waters and agreed to deepen military cooperation in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, they said.
Japan in December adopted a new National Security Strategy in which it set a goal of doubling its defense spending to 43 trillion yen over the next five years to fund a military buildup, including developing a strike capability in a major break from its self-defense-only policy long observed under its post-World War II pacifist constitution.
