Earlier Friday, Borrell met with Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani and shared the view that security in Europe and the Indo-Pacific is interconnected as they agreed to deepen defense cooperation, Japan’s Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The two officials expressed grave concern over North Korea’s missile development program and its growing military cooperation with Russia, saying they are significant challenges for the international community.
“We reaffirmed the need for strengthened EU-Japan cooperation in security and defense, including on maritime security, cyber and hybrid threats amid growing regional and global security challenges,” Borrell said on the social media platform X.
