Tokyo - Arab Today
A summit between Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Japan's counterpart Shinzo Abe is scheduled for later on Tuesday.
The leaders are to discuss opening bilateral talks for an economic partnership agreement, according to Japan's (NHK WORLD) website.
They are also likely to confirm that the two sides will strive for the early implementation of a civil nuclear cooperation pact.
The pact would allow the export of Japanese nuclear technology to Turkey, where a Japanese-French consortium has won an order to build a nuclear plant.
The meeting will be the 3rd between the two premiers, following talks last May and October. Abe is apparently hoping to bolster ties with Turkey, whose economy is growing steadily.
