FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Kyodo) Japanese and U.S. experts ended two days of talks Tuesday aimed at discussing ways to lift Japan's import ban on American beef after visiting a beef processing facility here.
The talks were intended to devise scientific measures to verify cows' ages, which may lead Japan to remove its ban on U.S. beef imports.
"We had a constructive discussion," said Kenji Kanasugi, director of the Foreign Ministry's Second North America Division.
