TOKYO – Parliamentary Secretary of Defense, Kazunori Kaneko, received a courtesy call from the Secretariat of the Halifax International Security Forum at the Ministry of Defense on February 17.
During the meeting, the two sides exchanged views on the current international security environment, including the situation in Ukraine, the Indo-Pacific region, and North Korea.
Parliamentary Secretary Kaneko expressed his gratitude to the Halifax International Security Forum for its role in facilitating dialogue and cooperation on global security issues. He also welcomed the upcoming Halifax International Security Forum 2025, which is set to be held in November.
The Halifax International Security Forum is an annual conference that brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to discuss the most pressing global security challenges. The forum was established in 1987 and is hosted by the Halifax International Security Association, a Canadian non-profit organization.
The courtesy call reflects the ongoing cooperation between Japan and Canada on a wide range of security issues. Japan and Canada are both members of the G7 and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The two countries also participate in joint exercises and training, and cooperate on intelligence sharing.
