U.S., Japan to study missile defence with Australia

Tokyo (ANTARA News) - The United States and Japan plan to study a joint missile defence system with Australia that would boost their security role in the Asia-Pacific region, a Japanese government source said on Tuesday.

Tokyo and Washington have already been working on a defence shield to ward off potential threats from North Korea, and the government official said the new plan also envisaged a possible firing of Chinese missiles over Australia and Guam.
