The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will soon sign a new agreement to deepen security ties, including a UK commitment to deploy an aircraft carrier strike group to the Indo-Pacific in 2025.
The so-called “Hiroshima Accord” will also cover trade and investment, collaboration on science and technology and joint initiatives to tackle global issues such as climate change.
Under the agreement, the United Kingdom will deploy its Carrier Strike Group to the Indo-Pacific in 2025… and will also double its troop numbers in upcoming joint military exercises.
He will also visit a naval base and confirm new UK-Japan defence cooperation, including a new cyber partnership.
The summit comes as the former UK prime minister Liz Truss attempted to intervene in foreign policy by visiting Taiwan on Wednesday, where she called on Sunak to declare Beijing a threat to national security.
The trip had drawn condemnation as a “dangerous political stunt” by the Chinese embassy in London.

At the Paris Olympics, two boxers, Imane Khelif from Algeria and Lin Yu-ting from Taiwan, have advanced to gold medal matches in their respective weight categories at the Paris Olympics. These athletes have been at the center of controversy due to questions about their eligibility to compete in women's events. The IBA had found XY chromosomes in their DNA last year. Despite this the athletes have reached Finals of Paris Olympics.

In a dramatic turn of events at the Paris Olympics, Bulgarian boxer Svetlana Staneva’s recent loss to Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting in the women’s 57-kilogram division has ignited a renewed debate over gender eligibility in sports. Staneva, who lost to Lin via unanimous decision, saw the Taiwanese athlete advance to the semifinals and secure at least a bronze medal. However, the match has become the centre of controversy due to the ongoing debate over Lin's gender eligibility. The International Boxing Association (IBA) previously disqualified Lin from the 2023 World Championships, citing a positive test for “XY chromosomes” as the reason for her exclusion. The IBA's decision sparked widespread criticism, with the association defending its stance by asserting that Lin, along with other competitors, had an unfair advantage. This has led to significant controversy surrounding Lin’s participation in the women’s boxing event at the Olympics.

Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting won her first Olympic bout amid gender controversy, defeating Sitora Turdibekova in the 57kg category. Lin, like Algerian Imane Khelif, was banned by the International Boxing Association (IBA) but allowed to compete by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This situation highlights the conflict between IBA and IOC policies on gender determination in sports.
