Japanese investment in the UK has hit a “record high” since last year’s shock Brexit vote, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Friday.
Johnson, a leading campaigner for Britain to quit the European Union, also pledged London will “build a fantastic relationship with our friends and partners in the EU” after talks with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida in Tokyo.
Referring to growing regional tensions over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme, he also called on China to pressure Pyonyang to agree to fresh negotiations.
The second round of contentious talks over Britain’s exit from the political bloc ended this week, with the EU’s Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier warning “fundamental” differences remained between London and Brussels — just days after Johnson told the EU to “go whistle” over a massive proposed divorce bill.
