The Financial Times is forging close links with Japan's leading business media group, Nikkei, according to a memo on its website by the FT's editor, Lionel Barber.
He writes that the pink paper's latest Japan Special Report marks the start of closer editorial co-operation between the FT and the Nikkei.
The report is appearing in both papers' print and online platforms. Barber says the papers will soon link to each other's English-language websites through shared headlines.
Barber writes: "This is a time of heightened interest in Japan. The world wants to know whether 'Abenomics' is for real and whether it can lead to a period of sustained economic recovery in the world's third-biggest economy."
[Abenomics is the nickname for to the economic policies advocated by Japan's prime minister, Shinzō Abe]
