SINGAPORE -- Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani on Sunday expressed eagerness to take the lead in promoting exports of his country's defense equipment along with Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
Until now, most of Japan's outreach in this area has been done by defense ministry officials and defense contractors themselves. Japan has won only one major international defense contract -- the supply of radar systems to the Philippines.
