Japanese Warships Dock in New Zealand for First Time in 90 Years | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

Two Japanese warships arrive in New Zealand’s capital, Wellington, for the first time in almost 90 years, signalling Tokyo’s push to strengthen strategic ties in the South Pacific. Two destroyers with more than 500 crew on board sailed into Wellington harbour accompanied by the New Zealand Navy ship HMNZS Canterbury. The JS Ise and destroyer JS Suzunami were on an Indo-Pacific deployment and arrived from Sydney, where Japan’s military took part this month in war games involving New Zealand, Australia and other countries.
