Thailand and
Japan are edging closer to finalising a defence trade and technology agreement
that could facilitate Japanese defence exports to the Southeast Asian country.
Jane's understands that talks about
bilateral defence industrial co-operation are continuing to support potential
Japanese sales of equipment including air defence radars and communications
systems, as well as major platforms such as the Kawasaki P-1 maritime patrol
aircraft and C-2 transport aircraft.
Japan is also
understood to be drafting the required legal framework through which Tokyo will
allow defence sales. This framework complies with Japan's Three Principles on
the Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology, which replaced the country's
military export ban in 2014.
