Japan and Britain plan to sign a Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA) when Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visits Britain next week, according to government sources.
The pact will set a legal framework for the activities of the Self-Defense Forces in the United Kingdom and British military personnel in Japan.
The Japanese and British governments are currently in the final stage of concluding a pact that will deepen security cooperation between the two countries, which have shared concerns over Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's hegemonic activities.
