It recently conducted an interceptor missile test in league with the U.S. in the waters off Hawaii.

In October the Ground "Self-Defense Force" staged its first joint drill with the UK army. It was reported that it is the first time for it to conduct a joint military drill with a foreign army on the mainland, except the U.S. army.

GSDF staged the first joint drill with the Indian army in a northeastern area of India.

As known, unprecedentedly getting stronger in the region is the joint effort for defusing the danger of war and preserving peace and security.

However, Japan is keen on disturbing the regional situation, failing to take part in the brisk regional dialogue but getting more and more isolated.

Worse still, the militarist fanatics of Japan are getting desperate in the reckless military moves for realizing the wild ambition for overseas expansion, only to go against the trend of the times and the public aspiration. This can never be overlooked.

The Abe regime decided to extend the sphere of SDF overseas dispatch to Asia this year although it was confined to Africa under the signboard of UN peace-keeping activities. To this end, it dispatched its GSDF forces to Vietnam.

It established a mission in NATO and is putting efforts in intensifying "cooperation" with its member states.

The overseas advance of SDF being expanded to across the world means that Japan's military operation covers the whole world.

This also can be abused to secure a "pretext" for the Japanese forces to be involved in a war of aggression in any part of the world as was in the past century.

It is as clear as noonday that the Japanese reactionaries are seeking to realize their dirty dream at any cost by perfecting the actual fighting capacity of SDF under the pretext of "military cooperation" and "joint drill."

With no sleight of hand the militarist fanatics can ever hide their wild ambition.

The international community is seriously concerned of the Japanese reactionaries' bellicose moves destroying peace in the region and other parts of the world.

Japan should never forget that the international community is keeping its sharp eye on such moves.
