Nikkei Asia: NATO to open Japan office, deepening Indo-Pacific engagement
Two sides to upgrade cooperation on cyber, disruptive tech and disinformation
TOKYO/BRUSSELS -- NATO is planning to open a liaison office in Tokyo, Japan, the first of its kind in Asia, Nikkei Asia has learned.
The station will allow the military alliance to conduct periodic consultations with Japan and key partners in the region, such as South Korea, Australia and New Zealand as China emerges as a new challenge, alongside its traditional focus on Russia.
NATO and Japan will also upgrade their cooperation, aiming to sign an Individually Tailored Partnership Programme (ITPP) before the NATO Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania on July 11-12. The two sides will deepen collaboration in tackling cyber threats, coordinate stances on emerging and disruptive technologies, and exchange notes on fighting disinformation.
The plans were confirmed by both Japanese and NATO officials.

Yep here we go again. The suffocating tentacles of NATO strike again. Russia is responding to this over reach in Ukraine, and China will respond in kind in the pacific. We deserve what’s coming.
NATO AKA North Atlantic-Mediterranean-Baltic-Pacific Treaty Organization
North Atlantic Terrorist Organization.
We love NATO
NATO is against terrorism
Good one 👍
NATO is a gang on a country level scale.
NATO can't defend itself against Russia due to the fact that Europe has no industrial capability to make bullets or bandages. What are they going to do against China?
NATO is setting the stage for WW III. Insanity. Stay in Europe where you belong, NATO!
All of commenters here are anti US and anti Nato. Looks like they all admire Iran, China and Russia
