Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni agree to deepen cooperation on advanced technologies and economic security during talks on Monday. The leaders plan to strengthen collaboration in areas including semiconductors and to improve coordination and resilience across supply chains for critical minerals. The agreement is framed as part of efforts to bolster economic security. The two sides also discuss defence-related cooperation alongside the technology and supply-chain agenda.
In addition, both leaders welcome a preliminary development in U.S.-Iran diplomacy aimed at ending a war that caused disruptions to global oil supplies. The report notes their planned participation in upcoming Group of Seven (G7) activities following the meeting, indicating the issues are likely to be discussed further in broader international settings.
