ANKARA: Japan’s defense minister will hold talks in Turkiye on Tuesday on defense industry cooperation, including the possible supply of Turkish-made drones, as Tokyo expands the role of unmanned systems in its armed forces, a diplomatic source said. Gen Nakatani is the first Japanese defense minister to make such an official trip to Turkiye, a NATO member country that is keen to expand its economic and other ties beyond Europe and the Middle East.
