UK and Japan make joint statement on technology
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Japanese Communications Minister Tatsuo Kawabata have met to discuss the role and value of the internet and have published a set of directions for the two nations.
In a joint statement, they agreed the two countries would cooperate to help bring about consensus at international meetings on internet and cyber policies and to take forward the conclusions of the London Conference on Cyberspace in November 2011.
Their meeting follows talks held between Prime Minister David Cameron and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda in Tokyo last month. The two Prime Ministers published a joint statement confirming their intention to strengthen bilateral consultations on issues related to cyberspace.
They acknowledged that they would work together to reaffirm the multi-stakeholder approach to internet governance, ensure internet policies are coherent and compatible at the international level, and accomplish international consensus.
