LONDON — When Richard Moore became head of Britain's secret intelligence service MI6 in October 2020, he marked the occasion uniquely by announcing his arrival with a tweet and an emoji, a first for a top British spy.

Moore, the former MI6 chief, has praised the close cultural ties and shared worldview between Britain and Japan, describing them as natural partners. His comments come amid ongoing global tensions involving China and Russia, underscoring the importance of trust between allied nations in a turbulent world.

Moore's perspective highlights the strategic significance of maintaining strong alliances in Asia and beyond.
