Britain aircraft carrier arrived in Japan

Britain aircraft carrier- HMS Queen Elizabeth In Japan: Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi welcomed the British aircraft carrier (Britain aircraft carrier) “HMS Queen Elizabeth” on Monday arriving in Japanese port for the first time. He said that the participation of European countries in the Indo-Pacific is the key to peace and stability, given China’s efforts to increase its military power and influence.

Kishi met Commodore Steve Moorhouse, the task force commander, aboard the aircraft carrier. The warship arrived at a US Navy base in Yokosuka, near Tokyo, on Saturday. Japan seeks to extend its military cooperation beyond the traditional alliance with the United States, with the increasing weight of the Chinese navy and its claims on several territories.

Before reaching Yokosuka, the ship “HMS Queen Elizabeth” participated in joint operations with warships from the United States, the Netherlands, Canada and Japan. Kishi told reporters that European countries are interested in (China’s) unilateral efforts to change the status quo in the East and South China Seas. The role of European countries is important for peace and stability in the region. He said: “I hope that the arrival of the warship in port will further strengthen defense cooperation between Japan and Britain.

The ‘Strike Group’ left the UK in May. The “HMS Queen Elizabeth”, which entered service in 2017, is Britain’s largest and most powerful warship. This ship can carry 40 planes like F-35 fighter jets.
