At the start of the talks, Abe said he will visit the Philippines in mid-November to attend the summit meetings of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and expanded regional forums.
Abe said he will fully support Duterte, who will chair the meetings, to help make the talks a success.
The ASEAN-related summits will start on November 10th.
Duterte expressed hope that his talks with Abe will revitalize the strategic partnership between the 2 countries and expand mutually beneficial relations.
Details of the talks have not been disclosed. Abe hoped to affirm that Japan and the Philippines would work closely in urging other nations to put maximum pressure on North Korea to give up its nuclear and missile programs.
The 2 leaders are believed to have discussed the situation in the South China Sea, where China is stepping up its activities.
Other topics likely included Japanese economic assistance of about 1 trillion yen, or nearly 9 billion dollars, to be provided over the next 5 years to help the Philippines build infrastructure.

Two senior officials of a group of survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings in Japan will attend this year's Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony in Norway.
The Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 went to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, or ICAN, for its efforts leading to the adoption of a landmark United Nations treaty to ban nuclear weapons.
Japanese survivors, known as hibakusha, were asked to join the award ceremony to be held on December 10th in Oslo.
Nihon Hidankyo, or the Japan Confederation of Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb Sufferers Organizations, decided on Monday to send 2 of its senior members, Terumi Tanaka and Toshiki Fujimori, to the ceremony.
Nihon Hidankyo was active during negotiations on the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which was adopted in July.
Members spoke to representatives from governments across the world about their experiences and called for the abolition of nuclear weapons.
The group also started a petition urging all countries to join the UN treaty, and collected signatures from more than 5 million people.

Spanish prosecutors are considering possible indictments against Catalonia's separatist leaders, who have been dismissed by the central government.
The Catalan regional parliament on Friday voted unilaterally to declare independence from Spain.
Madrid has stripped the region of its autonomy and dismissed Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and others, but they remain defiant.
Public prosecutors have been looking into the case. The country's attorney general is expected to announce the decision on indictments as early as Monday.
Local media have reported that prosecutors have asked the court for permission to look into rebellion charges.
If the case goes to court and they are found guilty, they face a maximum of 30 years in prison.
But severely punishing the separatist leaders is likely to ignite strong reactions from their supporters and aggravate the situation.

Japan's government is going to help developing countries calculate their global warming gas emissions and reduction results.
The Paris Agreement which went into force last November requires all member countries to submit their reduction targets to the United Nations.
But some developing countries lack the technology to properly work out how much greenhouse gases they are emitting. This prevents them from verifying the effects of their reduction efforts.
To support those countries, the Japanese government has devised a plan with international research institutes to promote a method being used by Japanese companies.
The procedure will have businesses in developing countries calculate and report their emissions, which will be used to compile a data base.
The government hopes to introduce the method in countries in Southeast Asia next fiscal year starting in April.
Government officials say they will announce the plan at the UN climate conference, known as COP23, in Bonn, Germany next week.
The method will also track the emissions of Japanese and other foreign companies in developing countries.
Government officials hope this will help promote the use of advanced energy saving technology being used by Japanese businesses.
