Japan and the Philippines have signed a Reciprocal Access Agreement, enabling Japanese forces to participate in joint military exercises on Philippine soil.

Signed by Philippine Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa, it underscores mutual efforts to enhance regional security and stability.
