TOKYO - British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he wants to begin talks with Japan within weeks to conclude a trade deal this year, after a meeting with Japanese counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi, who asked Britain to drop European Union food import restrictions imposed after the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
“Japan is right up there in the list of priorities partly because of the size of the market, but also Japan is an absolute central country in the Indo Pacific region,” he added. Britain’s hurry to tie up new trade agreements could be to Japan’s advantage, as it seeks to secure better terms. “Obviously anything that affects food, health and safety standards we would want to look at very carefully. We understand the Japanese concern about this and it will be science led,” Raab told Reuters when asked whether the Britain would agree to Motegi’s request.
