AUKUS: JAPAN BEING CONSIDERED IN DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS
AUKUS: Japan being considered in defense technology projects

The defense chiefs of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia say they are considering working with Japan on advanced technology projects. It would come under the security framework known as AUKUS, which focuses on the deployment of nuclear-powered submarines in Australia.
In a joint statement released on Monday, the three said AUKUS recognizes “Japan’s strengths and its close bilateral defense partnerships with all three countries.”
One of AUKUS’s so-called pillars calls for cooperation on sophisticated technologies, including hypersonic missiles and artificial intelligence. The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has been seeking the increased participation of allies and like-minded nations.
Japanese Defense Minister Kihara Minoru commented on the significance of AUKUS.
