London, Tokyo to sign landmark 'Hiroshima Accord' ahead of G7 summit to counter China |Oneindia News

The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will soon sign a new agreement to deepen security ties, including a UK commitment to deploy an aircraft carrier strike group to the Indo-Pacific in 2025.

The so-called “Hiroshima Accord” will also cover trade and investment, collaboration on science and technology and joint initiatives to tackle global issues such as climate change.

Under the agreement, the United Kingdom will deploy its Carrier Strike Group to the Indo-Pacific in 2025… and will also double its troop numbers in upcoming joint military exercises.

He will also visit a naval base and confirm new UK-Japan defence cooperation, including a new cyber partnership.

The summit comes as the former UK prime minister Liz Truss attempted to intervene in foreign policy by visiting Taiwan on Wednesday, where she called on Sunak to declare Beijing a threat to national security.

The trip had drawn condemnation as a “dangerous political stunt” by the Chinese embassy in London.

Fukushima Daiichi: Japan to dump radioactive waste into Pacific Ocean from Thursday | Oneindia News

Japan is to begin releasing wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from Thursday, in defiance of opposition from fishing communities, China and some scientists. Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, has said that disposing of more than 1m tonnes of water being stored at the site is an essential part of the long and complex process to decommission the plant. He also said that said authorities would go forward with the release on August 24 "if they encounter no obstacles." The decision was made after the government held a cabinet meeting to discuss the issue. But the plan, announced by Kishida on Tuesday, has caused controversy because the water contains tritium, a radioactive substance that can’t be removed by the facility’s water filtration technology. #Fukushimadaiichiplant #Fukushimaradioactivewater #IAEAFukushima ~HT.99~PR.153~ED.102~

China New Map Controversy: Japan joins India, others in rejecting China's new map | Oneindia News

Japan has joined India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Taiwan to lodge protests against China over its new "standard map" for including the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea as part of its territory. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said yesterday that Japan has lodged a strong protest to China through diplomatic channels over a new map released by Beijing last month. Japan "responds in a calm and resolute way, based on its policy to stand firm in protecting people's lives and properties, as well as the country's land, seas and airspace," he said. Tokyo has urged Beijing to rescind the map because it has a description based on China's unilateral claims on the Senkaku Islands in southern Japan's Okinawa Prefecture. The new map describes the Senkakus as the Diaoyu Islands, the Chinese name for the islands. #Chinanewmap #Countriesopposechinanewmap #Southchinasea ~HT.99~PR.153~ED.155~
