(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) TOKYO, Jan 17 (KUNA) -- The Japanese government has inaugurated the Mission of Japan to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in Brussels, making it as an independent mission from the Japanese Embassy in Belgium, the Foreign Ministry said Friday.
The inauguration, which took place earlier this week, will enable Japan to cooperate with NATO more efficiently and to contribute to further enhancing and developing the relationship between Japan and NATO in the future, the ministry said in a statement.
Stressing that Japan and NATO are partners sharing fundamental values and strategic interests, the ministry said, "As it has become further evident that the security of Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific is inseparable, the Japan-NATO relationship has developed in a concrete manner in recent years."
