Japan, Britain, Germany Agree to Ensure Market Stability

Tokyo, June 30 (Jiji Press)--The leaders of Japan, Britain and Germany agreed Thursday that the Group of Seven major countries will do their best to ensure global growth and financial market stability following British voters' decision last week to leave the European Union. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reached the agreement in his separate phone talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. This marked Abe's first talks with Cameron and Merkel since Britain's historic national referendum on June 23. Abe told them that Britain and the EU should cooperate to send out a message promptly that would dispel market concerns and enhance future predictability. Merkel said she will do every effort to prevent global economic volatility. Abe told Cameron that Britain should act appropriately to prevent its exit from the EU from negatively affecting Japanese companies operating there. Cameron said that he will utilize all available measures to protect Japanese companies operating in Britain. He said he rates high Japanese companies' investment in his country. The three leaders agreed that their countries will work together to conclude an economic partnership agreement between Japan and the EU by the end of this year. Abe and Cameron agreed that they will cooperate to maintain order based on the principles of the rule of law. END
