Canada and Japan Forge Intel-Sharing Deal: Strengthening Ties
Japan recently solidified its commitment to strengthen intelligence sharing with the Five Eyes alliance by signing a classified information-sharing agreement with Canada. The Security of Information Agreement (SIA), signed in Tokyo, aims to facilitate exchanges of national security data and defense procurements between the two nations. This legally binding deal, awaiting parliamentary ratification, outlines protocols for managing sensitive information. Though it doesn’t specify data exchange, the agreement represents a significant advancement in bolstering defense and security cooperation between Japan and Canada.
