Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull arrived in Tokyo this morning ahead of high-level talks with his Japanese counterpart.
Mr Turnbull said the talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will focus on trade and investment, including the further purchase of Australian-made military vehicles by Tokyo, and attempts to revive interest in the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.
North Korea’s nuclear weapons program is also canvassed for discussion, though Mr Turnbull’s position on economic sanctions has not changed.
