The decision, viewed as contentious, is expected to assist in securing Japan’s involvement in the joint fighter jet project and aims to bolster the Japanese arms industry while enhancing its role in global security #Japan #FighterJets #PacifistPrinciples #ArmsSales #GlobalSecurity #DefenceIndustry #PacifistPolicy #MilitaryTechnology #InternationalRelations #SecurityShift #ForeignPolicy #ArmsExport #RegionalTensions #NationalSecurity #DefensePartnerships #PolicyChange #Pacifism #FighterJetSales #JapanDefense #GlobalPeace ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~
