Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and
Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA)

July, 2013

Japan's Basic Policy:

The Government of Japan is absolutely resolved to "open up the country" and "pioneer a new future". It will take major steps forward from its present posture and promote high-level economic partnerships with major trading powers that will withstand comparison with the trend of other such relationships. At the same time, it will first press ahead with fundamental domestic reforms in order to strengthen the competitiveness it will need for economic partnerships of this kind.
