Akiba, the director of the National Security Bureau, met with Britain's National Security Chief Complementary Assistant to the United Kingdom, who is visiting Japan, and agreed that the launch of ballistic missiles by North Korea was absolutely unacceptable, and continued to work closely with them. I confirmed that I would go.
At the meeting, they exchanged views on security cooperation between Japan and the United Kingdom and the situation in the Indo-Pacific region, and then responded to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine by both Japan and the United Kingdom and the G7 = seven major countries. We have confirmed that the international community will work closely together to respond.
They also agreed that North Korea's nuclear and missile activities, including ballistic missile launches on the 25th, were absolutely unacceptable, and confirmed that they would continue to work closely together.
