    Japan’s Abe Cabinet also secretive
    Japan is expected to officially join the TPP negotiation on July 23, 2013 in Malaysia despite the Abe Cabinet has not disclosed any details of the consulting sessions with other negotiating members as well as the original members in the name of P4. Food safety, IPR, medical insurance and ISD clauses are the big concerns among Japanese citizens.
