Japan and Laos have agreed to ease entry restrictions imposed in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Long-term residents will be allowed to travel between the two countries as early as September.
Japanese Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu and his Laotian counterpart Saleumxay Kommasith met in Laos on Sunday.
The ministers also confirmed that the two countries will speed up coordination in order to permit short-term visitors as soon as possible, including business people.
Motegi said Japan intends to resume admitting government-sponsored Laotian students soon.
Saleumxay expressed gratitude for the plan.
After the meeting, the ministers signed an agreement where Japan will offer Laos about 22.6 million dollars in grant aid for projects, including the construction and renovation of institutions to train teachers.

Japan's two major airlines are cutting domestic flights again in September. That's because rising coronavirus infections are putting a renewed damper on travel around the country.
All Nippon Airways says it will reduce its scheduled domestic flights by 45 percent next month. That's a 20 percentage-point increase in the number of flights cut compared to August. Some of the busiest routes, including between Tokyo's Haneda Airport and Osaka and Sapporo, are among those affected.
Japan Airlines also plans to halt 43 percent of its domestic flights in the first half of September. That's a 15 percentage-point expansion of cancellations from this month.
The two carriers scrapped up to 80 percent of their domestic flights in May, when a state of emergency was in place over COVID-19. After the government lifted the declaration late that same month, people started traveling more, and the airlines gradually eased their cancellations.
But infections are on the rise again across Japan. Domestic flights were less than 40 percent full during the usually busy holiday season in mid-August. And the carriers say they are not getting many reservations for September.

At least 13 people have died in a stampede at a nightclub in Peru after police raided the establishment to stop a large gathering banned under government coronavirus restrictions.
Police raided the club in the capital city of Lima on Saturday after being alerted by neighbors that a large number of people were having a party.
Police found about 120 partygoers at the scene. The guests rushed toward the exit, trampling on each other and becoming trapped as they tried to flee.
The Peruvian government says 13 people died and six others, including three police officers, were injured.
Investigators have taken 23 partygoers into custody, and are working to identify the club owner and the organizers of the event.
Multiple media are reporting that 15 of those detained have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Johns Hopkins University in the United States says Peru has a total of 585,236 confirmed coronavirus cases, which is the sixth-highest tally in the world.

Key words : Abe hospital again
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200824_14/
Japan's Prime Minister Abe Shinzo is visiting a hospital in Tokyo again on Monday. One of his secretaries says it is a follow-up visit scheduled after a one-day checkup Abe underwent a week earlier.
Abe arrived at Keio University Hospital in Shinjuku Ward around 10 a.m.
The secretary says the prime minister was told by a doctor during the checkup to visit again a week later.
Abe is believed to be receiving the results of that examination.
Abe told reporters last Wednesday, when he returned to work, that he underwent the one-day checkup to make doubly sure he would be in perfect condition after his summer holiday.

Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo spent three and a half hours at a hospital in Tokyo on Monday for medical reasons. He says it was a follow-up to a test he took last week. But the visit adds fuel to concerns the prime minister may be in poor health.
Abe said, " I heard details about my test results and also underwent additional tests. I'll continue to do my best in my work and take all measures to manage my physical condition."
Abe declined to share information when asked about the content and results of the tests.
He broke a record on Monday becoming the Japanese leader with the most consecutive days in office -- 2,799.
But there's speculation the prime minister's health has taken a hit from the stresses of governing during a pandemic.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga Yoshihide said he sees Abe every day and that he hasn't seen any change.
A senior official of the largest opposition party says if Abe is ill, he should concentrate on treatment.
Nagatsuma Akira of the Constitutional Democratic Party said, "The Diet is not holding an extraordinary session even though our nation is facing a crisis. If it's because of Prime Minister Abe's physical condition, he needs to consider whether he should step down."
Nagatsuma says the public deserves an explanation of the prime minister's condition from the government.

Yahoo Japan says it turned down over 230 million ads in fiscal 2019 due to unsuitable content. It's the first time the leading Internet portal has given such a figure.
Yahoo Japan screens potential adverts around the clock for breaches of in-house guidelines.
It says 17 percent of the rejected material was sexually suggestive and could make viewers uncomfortable.
Fourteen percent was blocked for making exaggerated claims, such as a product being the world's first, without offering clear proof.
Five percent were ads for medical institutions outside Japan or which gave no contact information.
And the coronavirus is having an impact. Yahoo Japan says it disapproved misleading ads linked to the pandemic. Officials say they'll keep working to eliminate improper ads.
