04 April 2005
Jakarta (VNA) - Indonesia and Japan are likely to start talks on a bilateral Free Trade Agreement (FTA) later this month during Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s attendance at the Asia-Africa Summit in Jakarta.
Japan has signed FTAs with Singapore and Mexico, and is in the process of negotiating for the same deals with Malaysia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, and Thailand. It will start negotiations for an official FTA with the whole of ASEAN next week.
