The military logistics agreement must be ratified by Japanese lawmakers before it can enter into force.
The defense pact will allow tax-free supplies of ammunition, fuel, food, and other basic necessities when their troops conduct joint exercises. The agreement was concluded amid growing tensions in Tokyo's relations with China, following recent statements by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi that Beijing's potential actions against Taiwan could trigger Japanese intervention.
Tokyo and Manila also have separate territorial conflicts with China in the East China and South China Seas, which continue to flare up and threaten to win over the United States.
According to Japanese and Philippine officials, the new pact will help both countries in responding to natural disasters, which is a common problem, and in participating in UN peacekeeping missions. tengrinews.kz.
