The European Union and Japan have sealed a broad agreement on free trade in a deal they hailed as a sign of their joint efforts to promote an open economy.
The agreement was achieved after the two sides resolved thorny issues on tariffs on sensitive products such as Japanese automobiles and European wine and cheese. They will seek to reach a final agreement by the end of this year.
