Japan, UK Hold High-Level Economic Security Talks in Tokyo

News summary

Japan and the UK have emphasized the importance of free trade and economic security during high-level talks in Tokyo, amid rising tensions from US tariffs under President Trump. The discussions involved UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, alongside Japanese counterparts, focusing on collaborative economic strategies and the establishment of a new 'Economic Edition 2+2' ministerial meeting. Both nations aim to enhance their economic partnership, which already sees significant Japanese investment in the UK, while addressing supply chain resilience and energy security. Additionally, the UK and Japan are exploring joint defense initiatives, including the development of advanced military technology. The talks reflect a strategic response to global trade challenges and the need for reliable partnerships in an increasingly fragmented economic landscape. Ministers also highlighted the necessity of countering economic coercion, particularly from China, as part of their ongoing dialogue.
