Japanese defense minister in Philippines
Posted on 2026-05-05 17:07:17
Now turning to international news...

The Japanese Defense Minister is in the Philippines to witness an
international combat drill and conduct talks with President Ferdinand Marcos
Jr.

Shinjiro Koizumi aims to broaden defense ties between the two countries, and
may talk with Marcos and Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr about a
possible transfer of used Japanese destroyers to the Philippines.

Koizimi will be among representatives from 16 countries expected to witness a
key military exercise in which Philippines, US, Japanese, and Canadian
firepower will be used in a mock attack on a ship.

The Philippines and Japan signed a pact in 2024 allowing their forces to
stage large-scale combat drills.

Those drills see other allied forces brace for security contingencies and
deter Chinese aggressions.
