FED:Ludwig hails renewed Japan trade talks

CANBERRA, Dec 14 AAP - Agriculture Minister Joe Ludwig has hailed the resumption of
free trade talks with Japan during an address to the parliament in Tokyo.

Senator Ludwig addressed the National Diet of Japan on Tuesday, saying he welcomed
the return to trade talks.

The March tsunami in Japan disrupted trade negotiations between the two countries.

Japan is Australia's largest export market for beef and dairy products, and is also
a key market for Australian wine, he said.

Senator Ludwig is now in Korea for further agricultural trade meetings.
