Japan has ended a historic agreement with the amount of $ 10 billion (US $ 6.5 billion) to build warships for Australia. It was reported by Reuters.
It should be noted that this agreement has become the most significant sales of Tokyo weapons since the cancellation of the military export ban in 2014. Under the contract, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries 7011.T from 2029 will bring the Royal Australian Fleet with three modern multi -multi -multi -mogami Frigates. Eight other destroyers will be built in Australia.
According to Reuters, Australia plans to use ships against China, which expands the presence of military in the Indo-Pacific region. Kanberra intends to protect the most important marine trade routes and its northern approaches in India and Pacific.

According to him, the Chinese Air Force aircraft under the law conducted audit, identification, monitoring and monitoring of Japanese military aircraft. The actions are completely legal, appropriate and professional, Jiang Bin added.
