Japanese and NATO officials met Tuesday in Ankara to discuss China's military activities, including a long-range missile launch earlier in the week. Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi joined Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and officials from Australia, New Zealand and South Korea for the session with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.
Koizumi said China's expansion of nuclear and missile capabilities without sufficient transparency is a source of serious concern for Japan and the international community. The gathering took place as Tokyo works to maintain NATO engagement in the Indo-Pacific region. The meeting occurred at a NATO summit attended by the four Indo-Pacific partners.
