Japan: Foreign Relations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps the Government it taking to strengthen international relations with Japan.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The UK-Japan bilateral relationship is at its strongest in decades, underpinned by our enhanced Global Strategic Partnership. As the Prime Minister set out in his statement to the House on 2 February, our priorities for deepening our partnership further include working together for peace and security and boosting growth and resilience through cooperation in tech and innovation, energy, and trade. I also refer him to the details of my own visit to Japan in December, including the speech I made to the Tokyo Economic Security Forum on 15 December.
