Japan and the UK, long in military alliances with the United States, are finally sealing their own deal on the subject. It’s not exactly a love triangle, more like the proverbial cord of three strands that’s not easily broken…or something. Anyway, at the very least, we should see some new chemical protective gear out of the agreement. Woohoo!

Japan and the UK sign agreement to accelerate joint development of defense equipment through information protection at leadership meeting.
Prime Minister Abe Shinzo met with the UK’s Prime Minister Cameron in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland. They agreed to sign an agreement aimed at preventing leaks of technology in order to accelerate joint defense equipment development. As such, they formally concurred on the establishment of an “Information Protection Agreement” between the two countries, which will make possible the exchange of secret information, including of a military nature.
Both have alliances with the United States and are aiming to increase their links in the area of national security.
Based on the agreement for joint development of defensive equipment, the existing joint development of a chemical protective suit will get fully up to speed.
