On Monday (15th), multiple individuals associated with the Japanese government revealed that the governments of Japan and Australia are currently discussing ways to enhance cooperation, such as sharing intelligence between the Self-Defense Forces and the Australian military when unforeseen situations arise in the vicinity of both countries. In light of China's movements, the two countries are also exploring possibilities for expanding joint training and conducting Japan's long-range missile launch tests in Australia.
According to reliable sources, the Japanese government views Australia as a quasi-ally, second only to the United States, in hopes of increasing their deterrent power against China. It is speculated that in the event of a sudden crisis in the East China Sea or other surrounding areas of Japan, there could also be an emergency situation in the South Pacific and South China Sea, which are close to Australia. It seems that the defense departments of both countries are currently working together to coordinate their response strategies to potential crises and discuss methods for sharing intelligence.
In October 2022, the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, and the Australian Prime Minister, Albanese, signed a new joint declaration on security cooperation. The declaration includes a discussion on improving the effectiveness of security and defense cooperation through collaboration in various areas, purposes, and forms. As a result, the two governments have initiated negotiations.
The two countries have signed a "Mutual Access Agreement" to facilitate smooth communication between their forces and increase the joint training frequency of the three major self-defense forces and the Australian military. The two countries hope to clarify their responsibilities and improve the quality of training through negotiations. They are currently discussing the possibility of frequent exchanges of Japan's stealth fighter F-35 between Japan and Australia, as well as conducting multiple simulated electronic warfare training exercises.
