Japan’s Growing Free Trade Network —Ahead of the Japan-US Free Trade Agreement (Dr. Fukunari KIMURA, Professor, Keio University)
post date : 2019.09.13
As the trade war between the US and China continues to escalate, it is expected that Japan and the US will sign a new free trade agreement at the end of this month. The TPP11 agreement entered into force in December last year, followed by the Japan-EU Economic Partnership Agreement in February this year, and the Japanese government is currently involved in negotiations for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and EPAs with Turkey and with China-South Korea. There is significant interest in the future of the free trade network being built by Japan.
The FPCJ has invited Dr. Fukunari Kimura, a professor at Keio University and an expert on international trade agreements, to discuss this topic ahead of Japan and the US signing a free trade agreement.
