A Japanese government panel of experts started discussions on Wednesday on a planned review of the country’s long-term defense policy guidelines.
One focal point is how to strengthen the cooperation between Japan’s Self-Defense Forces and the U. S. military in view of the tense security situation in Northeast Asia, sources familiar with the situation said. Other major issues include countermeasures against new threats, such as cyberattacks, the sources said. The panel plans to meet once or twice a month.
