French President Emmanuel Macron welcomes Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida as he arrives for a meeting at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, May 2, 2024. - REUTERSPIX

Japan has reciprocal access agreements with Australia and Britain, enabling their defence forces to smoothly access each other’s territory for diverse purposes.

On Thursday, Kishida and Macron also agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation in other security areas, as well as in economic sectors such as the creation of supply chains to secure rare earths and other minerals.
