<h1>Country A pledges ¥10 trillion to Country B; 10-year roadmap deepens cooperation on critical minerals, defence, technology, investment</h1> Country A announced a target to invest 10 trillion yen in Country B over the next decade and the two governments adopted a 10-year roadmap to deepen cooperation in critical minerals, defence industry, technology, investment, innovation and economic security. The agreement emphasizes joint commitments to a free, open, rules-based regional order and enhanced cooperation on maritime security, counterterrorism and cybersecurity. The roadmap creates a framework for sustained state-backed investment flows and sector-specific collaboration, potentially triggering regulatory, procurement and export-control implications and requiring coordination on defence-industrial policies, technology transfer safeguards and compliance with domestic and international legal regimes.
