Japan says it will continue to closely monitor further developments in the US-China trade dispute, including the possible impact of the Phase One trade deal between the two major economies.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga spoke to reporters on Monday, three days after China announced the agreement.
Suga said the Japanese government views the deal in a positive light and hopes that Washington and Beijing will continue to constructively settle their trade dispute through dialogue.
