WNYC 93.9 FM Tokyo 21d13d Impact 8
The Japanese government has decided to abolish the 'five-type' restrictions to expand the export of defense equipment. This move targets 17 countries, including the US, UK, and Australia, marking a significant shift in national security policy. The decision aims to bolster international defense cooperation and industrial capacity. Japan has released three security documents detailing plans to increase defense capabilities and scale. The plans include increasing the defense budget to 2% of Japan's GDP by 2027. Measures involve procuring US-made cruise missiles and developing domestic long-range missiles to enhance Self-Defense Forces' combat capabilities, according to reports from Kyodo News. The Japanese government held its first expert meeting on April 27 regarding the revision of three security documents.
