Companies in the Japanese defense sector may start manufacturing
missiles for Patriot anti-missile systems together with American
partners, Azernews reports.
It is noted that such an idea was discussed during the talks
held in Tokyo between representatives of the defense complexes of
Japan and the United States. It provides for the joint
Japanese-American production of missiles, including missiles for
Patriot systems, in Japan.
Following the talks, the parties agreed to establish working
groups to further discuss issues of enhancing cooperation in the
defense sector, including the production and maintenance of
weapons. Another area of bilateral defense cooperation between
Tokyo and Washington should be the re-equipment and modernization
of American ships and aircraft in Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and US President Joe Biden
agreed to launch negotiations on enhancing bilateral cooperation in
the defense sector earlier in April 2024. It is expected that Tokyo
and Washington will hold regular consultations at various levels on
this topic from now on.
