SIGNING OF THE JAPAN-PHILIPPINES RECIPROCAL ACCESS AGREEMENT

July 8, 2024
Japanese


On July 8, at 10:45 a.m. local time (11:45 p.m. Japan time), Minister Kamikawa,
in the presence of His Excellency Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., President of the
Republic of the Philippines, signed the Agreement between Japan and the Republic
of the Philippines Concerning the Facilitation of Reciprocal Access and
Cooperation between the Self-Defense Forces of Japan and the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (“the Japan-Philippines Reciprocal Access Agreement”, or “the
Japan-Philippines RAA”) with Hon. Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr., Secretary of
National Defense of the Republic of the Philippines. The signing ceremony was
attended by Mr. KIHARA Minoru, Minister of Defense of Japan, and Hon. Enrique A.
Manalo, Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Philippines.

 1. The Japan-Philippines RAA is an agreement which establishes procedures for
    the cooperative activities that are conducted by forces of Japan and the
    Philippines while the force of one country is visiting the other country and
    defines a legal status of the visiting force. The Philippines is the third
    country with which Japan signed the RAA, following Australia and the United
    Kingdom.
 2. It is expected that the Japan-Philippines RAA will facilitate the
    implementation of cooperative activities, such as joint exercises and
    disaster relief between Japan and the Philippines and improve
    interoperability between the forces of the two countries.
 3. As the security environment in the region becomes increasingly severe, the
    signing of this important security-related agreement with the Philippines, a
    strategic partner located at a strategic juncture on the sea lanes and
    sharing fundamental values and principles with Japan, will further promote
    security and defense cooperation between the two countries and firmly
    support peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
