Japan, Canada reach effective agreement on defense logistics pact
May 28, 2017
TAORMINA, ITALY - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his Canadian counterpart, Justin Trudeau, confirmed on Friday that the two countries have reached an effective agreement in talks on a bilateral defense logistics pact.
Abe and Trudeau, meeting in Taormina in southern Italy on the sidelines of a Group of Seven summit, agreed that Japan and Canada will sign the acquisition and cross-servicing agreement at an early date.
The ACSA is designed to allow the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Canadian military to provide each other with such items as food and fuel on UN peacekeeping missions and during joint exercises.
This is Japan's fourth bilateral ACSA. The country already has such an agreement with the United States, Australia and Britain.
In his meeting with Trudeau, Abe expressed hopes for boosting cooperation with Canada in dealing with North Korea's nuclear and missile development.
Trudeau said that Canada is ready to promote cooperation with Japan in various opportunities, including at the United Nations. (Jiji Press)
