Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department plans to take to improve defence cooperation with Japan in the Indo-Pacific.
The Ministry of Defence will continue to strengthen our defence relationship with Japan via the commitments made under the Hiroshima Accord, the Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA) and the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). The Carrier Strike Group's deployment to the Indo-Pacific in 2025 will further strengthen UK and Japan defence cooperation.
