Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, in his first summit foray since taking office last month, agrees with his Vietnamese counterpart to step up defense and security cooperation in the face of China's expanding influence in the region.

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, right, and his Vietnamese counterpart Nguyen Xuan Phuc, left, walk together after a welcoming ceremony at the Presidential Palace in Hanoi, Vietnam Monday, Oct. 19, 2020.

The deal was expected: Japan has been pursuing such agreements in recent years to bolster ties with Southeast Asia and provide a lifeline to its own defense industry.Suga arrived in Hanoi late Sunday on the first stop of a four-day visit to Vietnam and Indonesia that he says is key to pursuing the “free and open Indo-Pacific” vision for multilateral economic and security cooperation to counter China’s growing power and protect sea lanes in disputed areas of the South China Sea.

Japan already has defense equipment transfer deals with the U.S., Britain, the Philippines and Malaysia, among other countries. Vietnam is a 12th partner.
