(Reuters) -The European Union and Japan will work more closely to counter economic coercion and address unfair trade practices, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters on Wednesday.

Von der Leyen’s comments came after an EU-Japan summit with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba as the EU struggles to conclude a trade deal with the United States and a day before potentially tough meetings with Chinese leaders.

Von der Leyen said the EU and Japan would seek to strengthen economic security.

“We will also work more closely together to counter economic coercion and to address unfair trade practices,” she said, adding later: “We believe in global competitiveness and it should benefit everyone.”
