Britain and Japan agreed to strengthen defense and economic ties, visiting Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in Tokyo on Saturday, after his bid to forge closer links with China drew warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump.
Starmer noted that Japan and Britain were the leading economies in a trans-Pacific that includes fellow Group of Seven member Canada, as well as other international trade and defense pacts.
“We set out a clear priority to build an even deeper partnership in the years to come,” Starmer said as he stood beside Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi after a bilateral meeting in the Japanese capital.
