Japan will join US and Australian troops in trilateral military drills for the first time as the three states are seeking to boost ties in the region where tensions over the disputed South China Sea region rumble on.

“Japan will join a major US-Australian military exercise for the first time in a sign of growing security links between the three countries as tensions fester over China’s island building in the South China Sea,” according to a statement on the Talisman Sabre biennial exercises’ official Facebook account.

Only 40 Japanese officers and soldiers will participate in the exercises, which overall involve about 30,000 US and Australian troops.
