As North Korea repeats launches of short-range ballistic missiles, Defense Minister Iwaya has decided to meet with the newly appointed US Secretary of Defense Esper on the 7th, and the series of launches is a threat to East Asia as a whole. It is a policy to call for a consistent response in the desire to share this recognition.
North Korea has repeatedly fired short-range ballistic missiles and flying bodies since the 25th of last month, and the Ministry of Defense is moving forward with improvements in military technology due to different launch points and orbits. In addition, I am analyzing that there are also aims to control Japan, Korea, and the United States.
Under such circumstances, Defense Minister Iwaya will meet with the US Secretary of Defense, Esper, on the 7th.
At the meeting, Minister Iwaya recognizes that the series of North Korean launches is a threat to East Asia as a whole, regardless of the range, given that President Trump has shown that he does not see any problems if the range is short. It is a policy to call for a consistent response with the idea of sharing.
In addition, if there is any reference from the Secretary Esper over the Volunteer Union to ensure the safety of the Holmes Strait in the Middle East, where the United States is seeking participation from other countries, we will carefully consider the response as a whole government. .
