China’s Ministry of National Defense announced on Monday that a delegation from the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) will visit Japan in mid-January. The visit comes as part of a mutual agreement between the two nations aimed at enhancing military cooperation and understanding.
During their stay, the PLA delegation will meet with senior officials from Japan’s Defense Ministry and the Joint Staff Office of the Self-Defense Forces, and visit relevant military units. The initiative is expected to strengthen mutual understanding and trust, while advancing defense exchanges between the two countries, according to the Chinese defense ministry.
This visit marks a significant step in promoting peaceful and cooperative relations in the region. As China and Japan continue to interact on defense matters, such exchanges could pave the way for increased stability and collaboration in East Asia.
