This report from UK think tank RUSI examines the UK–Japan Cyber Partnership and considers the factors that determine how it functions.
Agreed strategic priorities and concrete activities demonstrate that the UK–Japan Cyber Partnership has momentum. They also reflect the commitment of each country to cyber as an international policy area. The UK–Japan Cyber Partnership demonstrates the value of targeted engagement driven by operational activities across multiple policy areas. Effort should now be made to ensure that the momentum that has defined the first year of the Partnership is sustained, that challenges are overcome, and that the impact of engagement on cyber continues to grow.
This paper examines the UK–Japan Cyber Partnership and considers the factors that determine how it functions. It recommends further activities for the Partnership to undertake within its existing strategic priorities, and advocates for an expanded scope.
