PM Kishida, PBBM okay to strengthen security ties READ MORE:
In a joint statement, the Asian leaders resolved to “increase the defense capabilities of their own countries, and further strengthen overall security cooperation.”
Japan, which invaded and occupied the Philippines during World War II, has recently signed similar pacts with Britain and Australia. The President and Prime Minister also agreed to continue to consider ways to “further advance defense cooperation including through frameworks that will enhance and facilitate education and training exchanges as well as reciprocal visits of defense and military officials.”
“Both countries are still very much aware that they have touched a sensitive nerve in China creating the possibility of an Asian encirclement of China,” De Castro said. He and Kishida are expected to sign seven agreements covering those areas on a trip that would also see Marcos meet Japan’s emperor on Thursday afternoon.
