Japan is on the brink of becoming a member of the AUKUS security pact, a strategic alliance between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Japan’s inclusion could significantly bolster the alliance’s capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.
The move comes amid growing concerns over China’s assertive behaviour in the region, particularly in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
By integrating Japan into AUKUS, the alliance aims to enhance maritime security, intelligence-sharing, and defence cooperation, signalling a united front against potential threats. #ticker today #featured
