Japan is looking forward to continuing its collaborative work on telecommunications with Finland. That was one of the main topics Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba publicly addressed with his Finnish counterpart, Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.
The two politicians met this week during Orpo’s visit to the Asian country. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, “Ishiba expressed his desire to steadily build on security cooperation in light of Finland’s accession to NATO, and cooperation in cutting-edge science and technology fields such as 5G, 6G and supercomputing.”
The two nations renewed their strategic partnership for 2025 in several areas, including technology, an area of crucial importance, according to Orpo.
“The world has changed a lot in recent years, and it is important for our partnership to reflect the current geopolitical situation, our common priorities and our will to expand cooperation into new areas,” he said.
“Japan is one of Finland’s most important trading partners in Asia, and our cooperation has expanded into several key sectors. Finland has a lot to offer in areas such as cutting-edge technologies, safe and secure connections, clean transition and defence,” the Finnish Prime Minister added.
