Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida speaks during a press conference following a meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the prime minister's official residence in Tokyo on Feb. 9, 2023.
apan will seek to bolster military ties with the Philippines during a visit to Manila by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that comes after tensions escalated between Beijing and the Southeast Asian nation over a territorial dispute in the South China Sea.
Shocked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — Kishida often says a similar attack could happen in Asia — long-pacifist Japan is planning its biggest defense buildup since World War II and seeking to strengthen security ties with like-minded nations that share concerns about China. The day before Kishida’s visit, Mitsubishi Electric and Japan’s Ministry of Defense announced the delivery of the first of four radar units to the Philippines under a 2020 contract. The handover marks the first such transfer of domestically produced defense equipment since restrictions on their export were relaxed in 2014. Japan has also supplied ships to the Philippines’ coast guard.
