Quick Glance: US, UK, Australia Consider Japan's Cooperation in AUKUS Security Pact
  • The USA, UK, and Australia are considering collaborating with Japan under the AUKUS security pact to counter China's power in the Indo-Pacific region.

  • Consultations on future cooperation between AUKUS partners and other nations, including Japan, are set to commence this year.

  • Obstacles remain for Japan's potential involvement in advanced AUKUS projects, such as the need for improved cyber defenses and stricter rules for safeguarding secrets, despite its strong defense partnerships with the three countries.

  • The AUKUS security pact, formed in 2021, aims to push back against China's influence, with one pillar focusing on delivering advanced technologies and capabilities in areas like quantum computing and artificial intelligence.

Quick Glance: Harry and Meghan Face Conundrum Over Balmoral Invitation
  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could find themselves in a complicated situation, according to an expert, if King Charles invites them to join the Royal Family at Balmoral.

  • It is expected that King Charles will extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan to visit the Scottish retreat this year, as it is customary for the monarch to invite family members during the holiday season.

  • Royal expert and author Tom Quinn suggests that an invitation to the retreat could present a 'difficult' situation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

  • King Charles has reportedly extended an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan by 'hinting' at a visit to Balmoral this summer to improve relationships within the Royal family.
