Japan And U.S To Hold Security Talks

Foreign and Defense Ministers of Japan and the United States will hold security talks in Washington the day before Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida lands in the U.S. capital.

The Prime Minister of Japan will arrive at Washington next week, wrapping up his tour of the Group of Seven nations as Tokyo expands its military and deepens its alliance with America amid China’s growing influence.

Kishida will embark on a five-nation trip on Monday, January 9, 2023 to France, Italy, Britain and Canada ahead of his January 13 summit with U.S. President Joe Biden.

While the two leaders last met during a Group of 20 meeting in Bali, Indonesia, Kishida’s Washington visit will be his first as Prime Minister.

Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada and Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi will fly to Washington to join their American counterparts; Lloyd Austin and Antony Blinken for their “2+2” security talks on Wednesday, January 11, 2023, just before their leaders’ summit at the White House, Japanese officials revealed.

It is expected that the “2+2” discussions will focus on their new national security strategies, released by Japan in mid-December and the United States in October, and how the two allies plan to tackle security concerns including China, North Korea and Russia.

“We will discuss strengthening of deterrence and response capability of the Japan-U.S. alliance as we take into consideration our new strategy documents.”

Hamada disclosed that he and Lloyd Austin will separately hold bilateral defense talks on Thursday, January 12, 2023 to discuss details of how their militaries can expand and deepen their operations.

When asked if they will discuss a revision to their current defense guideline based on Japan’s more defensive role, Hamada answered that nothing has been decided.

Japan Adopts New Security Strategy

Japan in December, 2022 adopted a set of three security and defense strategy documents that break from its exclusively self-defense-only stance.

Under the new strategies, Japan vows to build up its counterstrike capability with long-range cruise missiles including U.S.-made Tomahawks that can reach potential targets in China, double its defense budget within five years and bolster development of advanced weapons.

U.S. officials have welcomed Japan’s willingness to take on a more offensive role, while experts say it could also help widen cooperation with Australia, their main regional defense partner.

Kishida has revealed that his talks with Biden will give emphasis to the strength of the Japan-U.S. alliance and promote closer cooperation between the countries under Japan’s new security and defense strategies adopted last month.

Kishida noted that coordination with other G-7 leaders ahead of the Hiroshima summit he will host in May is a key purpose of his trip, but Japanese officials said their talks will also focus on security and military cooperation.

Kishida wants to seek like-minded countries’ continued military engagement in the Indo-Pacific region and expand their cooperation as a counter to China, officials said. Kishida also wants to confirm G-7 unity in dealing with Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Kishida plans to discuss further deepening of security ties with France through joint military exercises. Japan’s joint development and production of its F-X next generation fighter jet with Italy and Britain for deployment in 2035 will be a top agenda during his visit in Rome and London as they seek to further expand their military ties.
