Philippine, Japan agree to enhance defense partnership

Japan and the Philippines agreed to further deepen defense ties in the face of an "increasingly severe" security environment in the Indo-Pacific region, Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani said on Monday, February 24.

Nakatani met his Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro in Manila for a meeting in which the two ministers tackled regional security issues, including the maritime situation in the East and South China Seas.

Nakatani said the Philippines and Japan have agreed to deepen cooperation on military exchanges, establish a high-level strategic dialogue among its military and deepen information sharing.
