Japanese Economic Revitalization Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura has noted the importance of ties with Britain and the need to pay attention to the course of Brexit.
At a news conference on Friday, Nishimura referred to UK poll projections that the ruling Conservative Party was set to win a majority.
He said about 1,000 Japanese companies are operating in Britain and that Japan has been asking the country to avoid a no-deal Brexit.
Nishimura added that Japan will continue to monitor the results of the election, as well as developments toward Britain's departure from the European Union.
