【 摘 要 】

The paper considers the UK policy towards Japan defined as its key ally in Asia. In light of upcoming Brexit, Great Britain tends to intensify the political dialogue with Tokyo in order to demonstrate alliances with «natural partners» all over the world. The option of a no-deal Brexit deeply concerns the Land of the Rising Sun since Japanese producers consider the UK as the main gateway to the EU. London in turn looks at Japan as a platform for further strengthening its strategic position in the Indo-Pacific region. The UK-Japan security dialogue is actively developing along with military cooperation. Although the rise of China poses concerns for Japan and the UK to a different extent, both countries appreciate significant economic opportunities offered by trading with Beijing.
