  1. The Government of Japan and the Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have decided to launch the negotiations for Japan-UAE Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).
  2. I hope that concluding an ambitious, balanced, and comprehensive EPA between Japan and the UAE, in addition to the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Japan and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) being negotiated in parallel, will contribute to strengthening bilateral　economic relations, including the expansion of trade and investment and other areas.
  3. Japan will continue to broaden cooperative relations in various areas while strengthening wide-ranging economic relations with the UAE.
