LONDON - Britain and Japan are set to sign a “hugely significant” new defence deal that will allow British troops to deploy to Japan.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s office called it “the most significant defence agreement between the two countries in more than a century”. Dr Euan Graham, a senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, described the deal as “quite a significant step up for both countries in terms of their bilateral defence relationship”.
But last month, the government approved plans to hike defence spending to two per cent of GDP by 2027, up from the traditional one-per cent level, and warned that China poses the “greatest strategic challenge ever” to its security. A British patrol ship last year took part for the first time in Exercise Keen Sword the regular Pacific training operation carried out by the Japanese and US navies.
