Brussels –
Europe’s defense industry sees “very significant potential” to deepen cooperation with Japanese firms in areas ranging from space tech to advanced electronics and unmanned weapons systems, officials involved in the matter have said.
The remarks come after Tokyo and Brussels launched a security and defense partnership earlier this month that some, including the EU ambassador to Japan, say will take ties to fresh heights.
“There is substantial room for future collaboration both bilaterally and at the European Union level, especially on advanced and complex systems,” a representative of ASD, a trade association comprising the vast majority of Europe’s aerospace, defense and security industries, said Tuesday in Brussels.
