Shares
WASHINGTON: United States Defence Secretary James Mattis has said that the US-Japan alliance is a cornerstone of Indo-Pacific stability and our commitment to this alliance will remain iron-clad.
After talks with his Japanese counterpart on the third leg of a regional trip in Japan, he said Washington will maintain a strong defensive stance with its regional allies despite halting military exercises with Seoul as it negotiates with North Korea.
