The US president said the two nations' forces will cooperate on a joint command structure and, along with Australia, develop a new air missile defence network. This is the most significant upgrade in our alliance since it was first established.
Biden insisted that the agreements set a new benchmark for military cooperation, aiming to make US and Japanese forces more nimble, particularly in responding to a crisis like a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. The move is purely defensive and not aimed at any specific nation.
Kishida highlighted the importance of upholding international order based on the rule of law, condemning unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion. The US and Japan reaffirmed their commitment to responding to such actions, including challenges from China.
