The European Union is contemplating stationing a army adviser with its delegation in Tokyo, senior EU army officers have mentioned, following Brussels’ launch of a safety and protection partnership with Japan earlier this month.
It’s unclear when such an adviser can be posted, as a political resolution has but to be made, however, if established, the position can be equal to that of a protection attache — Brussels’ first in Japan.
“It is potential that the EU will determine to increase its present community of army advisers to areas and nations like Japan and South Korea,” an official on the EU’s Army Employees instructed reporters in Brussels on Wednesday.
