Defense Minister Benny Gantz holds talks with top Japanese officials after arriving in Tokyo earlier today.
Among the Japanese officials he meets with today are Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno and National Security Adviser Akiba Takeo. He also holds talks with Rahm Emmanuel, the US ambassador to Japan.
He is due to meet tomorrow with his Japanese counterpart Yasukazu Hamada and Japan’s foreign minister.
Gantz’s office says the visit, which follows a trip to the US, is meant to mark 70 years of diplomatic ties between Jerusalem and Tokyo and is the first time in over a decade that an Israeli defense minister has visited Japan.
