Brexit Watch: Japan and Brexit
Theresa May has been in Japan to try to ease the Japanese corporate world's worries about Brexit
The British prime minister, Theresa May has been in Japan to try to ease the Japanese corporate world's worries about Brexit. There are plenty of reasons to be worried, as Japanese companies are heavily invested in Britain - there are more than 1,000 in the UK, employing about 160,000 people there. Japan's leader, Shinzo Abe, said that Brexit "has to be successful for the UK, European Union, and the global economy." Just what did he mean by that? Dan Damon spoke to to Dr Seijiro Takeshita, professor at the school of management at Japan's University of Shizuoka. We also have analysis from our political correspondent Chris Mason, and we hear from Theresa May's former communications chief, Katie Perrior.
