"Japan Takes a Leap in Global Defense: Historic Change in Arms Export Policy In a significant shift in its defense strategy, Japan has paved the way for the sale of military equipment to over a dozen countries around the world. This move marks a major departure from Japan's long-standing policy of not exporting arms, a stance that has been in place since the end of World War II. The change in policy is expected to boost Japan's defense industry, creating new opportunities for the country's manufacturers to supply advanced military technology to countries in need. As Japan forges stronger ties with its international partners, this development is set to have far-reaching implications for global security and the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region."
This clears the way for Japan to sell weapons to more than a dozen countries.
