STORYLINE:
Japan and the Philippines signed a key defense pact Monday allowing the deployment of Japanese forces for joint military exercises, including live-fire drills, to the Southeast Asian nation that came under brutal Japanese occupation in World War II but is now building an alliance with Tokyo as they face an increasingly assertive China.
The Reciprocal Access Agreement, which similarly allows Filipino forces to enter Japan for joint combat training, was signed by Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa in a Manila ceremony witnessed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
It would take effect after ratification by the countries’ legislatures, Philippine and Japanese officials said.
The defense pact with the Philippines is the first to be forged by Japan in Asia.
Enrique Manalo, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary, said the deal will bring the partnership between his country and Japan to "unprecedented levels.”
Japan signed similar accords with Australia in 2022 and with Britain last year.
Many of Japan’s Asian neighbors, including the Philippines, came under Japanese aggression until its defeat in World War II and Japan’s efforts to bolster its military role and spending could be a sensitive issue. Japan and the Philippines, however, have steadily deepened defense and security ties.
