British Prime Minister Theresa May will visit Japan this month for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to discuss Brexit, trade and defense, her office said Tuesday.
May will lead a business delegation drawn from a range of different sectors on the trip, which comes as her government looks to strengthen its relationship with key international investors ahead of Britain's exit from the European Union.
"The delegation will showcase the strength of British business, the shared confidence in the U.K.-Japan economic relationship as we leave the EU, and the potential for future growth," a spokesman from May's office said. The three-day trip is set to begin on Aug. 30.
