Singapore PM urges Japan to abolish tariffs

Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has urged Japan to abolish all tariffs. In the ongoing free trade talks, Japan hopes to maintain its tariffs on 5 key agricultural products.

Lee said this in an interview with NHK on Monday in Singapore, where the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade talks are being held.
The prime minister said most participating countries think that tariffs should ultimately be abolished for all goods, without exception.
