With an eye toward putting the economy on a recovery track, Japan is set to start negotiations to relaunch business travel between 10 Asian countries including China and South Korea, government sources said Friday.

Japan will also begin negotiations in July with Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Singapore and Taiwan.

“We are planning to relaunch travel in stages, starting from countries that have suppressed the spread and transmissions of the virus,” Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said during his regular news conference in Tokyo on Friday.
