UK, Japan to discuss defence industrial development

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and UK Prime Minister David Cameron will discuss the joint development of weapons systems during a meeting in Tokyo on 10 April, a Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) official told IHS Jane's on 4 April.
