VILNIUS -- The Japanese government has signed a new partnership document with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to enhance security coordination with Europe, with China's increasingly hegemonic moves in mind.
Japan aims to bolster its defense capabilities to keep China in check by promoting cooperation in such fields as cyber defense and measures against disinformation through the agreement with NATO, called the Individually Tailored Partnership Program, or ITPP.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attended a joint press Stoltenberg in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius on Wednesday.
