The state leaders announced their intention to explore the potential for joint combat aircraft production. This was reported by Ukrinform, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The governments of both states intend to cooperate more closely in the production of weapons and innovative defense technologies of the future. A corresponding directive has already been issued to relevant departments for practical elaboration.

Sanae Takaichi confirmed her readiness to strengthen industrial ties. According to her, the countries will combine technological advantages for the mutual reinforcement of their armed forces.
