TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida starts a tour of key Western partners on Monday, after unveiling his country’s biggest military buildup since World War Two as Tokyo weighs steps to counter China’s growing power.

He visits London and Rome after agreeing last month to develop a new jet fighter with those countries. He is to sign a deal with Britain that will establish a legal framework to allow visits by each other’s armed forces, the Yomiuri newspaper reported on Friday. “He’ll be going to show the US that this has been concluded - and, with the G-7 summit approaching, to touch base with the rest of the G-7 to confirm their stances on Ukraine and Asia,” said political commentator Atsuo Ito.
