Motegi and Tai, speaking on a video link, shared the view that their countries should join forces to counter China’s market-distorting measures such as intellectual property violations and subsidies to state enterprises.
The two ministers also agreed that Japan and the United States will discuss ways to build strong supply chains.
In separate talks, Japanese industry minister KAJIYAM Hiroshi and Tai agreed to cooperate to establish a free and fair economic order.
Kajiyama and Tai also discussed World Trade Organization reforms. They also agreed on cooperation with the European Union.
