Good news from the East: Japan’s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi will fly into London tomorrow for trade talks with Fox’s successor at the department for international trade, Liz Truss. Motegi announced this morning that he will be in the U.K. from August 5-7 to hold talks on the early conclusion of a U.K.-Japan free-trade agreement, my POLITICO Morning Trade UK colleague Graham Lanktree reports this morning.

The timing is therefore perfect to build a premium brand such as Four Fox Saké in China. Partnering with a leading company as serious and professional as EMW for the import and distribution of the brand is the first major step towards this goal and the Nimbility team is incredibly excited to be working with both Four Fox Saké and EMW to make this vision a reality.”Continent Latest news, analysis and comment from POLITICO’s editors and guest writers on the continent.
