TOKYO -- The Japanese government on Tuesday approved revised guidelines to its strict defense equipment transfer rules, enabling the export of next-generation fighter jets jointly developed with the U.K. and Italy under the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).
The change in the rules of Japan's "Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology" will help streamline negotiations with its two European partners in line with Tokyo's aspirations for the aircraft.
