US and Australia say they would welcome Japanese troops into three-way rotations, vowing a united front to what they say are China's rapid military advances in Asia-Pacific
US is planning to deploy up to six nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to an air base in northern Australia, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters in October.
"It's really important that we are doing this from the point of view of providing balance within our region and involving other countries within our region, and we look forward to being able to have more engagement with Japan," Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles told a news conference. Austin said the United States and Australia agreed to increase rotations of bomber task forces, fighter jets and the US Army and Navy.
Japan, a treaty-bound ally of the United States, has recently sought growing diplomatic cooperation with Australia, but defence ties have been more sensitive due to Tokyo's official pacificism since its defeat in World War II.The three countries have increasingly seen a common cause due to the growing assertiveness of China under President Xi Jinping.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the Australians that the United States was committed to "delivering on that promise at the earliest possible time."
