Held in Tokyo, the DSEI Japan conference will examine the key issues faced by the countries of the Indo-Pacific region as they work to promote stabilization and cooperation between nations.
With a record-breaking increase in the Japanese defence budget, Japan’s engagement with external partners is set to increase dramatically. The revitalisation of their military forces, bringing them to the forefront regional capabilities, necessitates greater communication with international trading partners.
