Asia-Pacific pact seen on agenda for Obama-Abe talks


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe are expected to discuss Japan's possible entry into regional free trade talks with the United States at a White House meeting late next week, U.S. trade policy specialists said on Friday.

A nuclear test by North Korea on Tuesday that drew international condemnation is also expected to figure prominently in their talks, the first meeting of the two leaders since Abe led his party back to power in December.
