ATLANTA, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Japan urged the United States on
Saturday to find a way to break a deadlock over protections for
next-generation medicines as talks on a sweeping Pacific trade
pact were extended for an extra 24 hours.
Japanese Economy Minister Akira Amari said he had agreed to
stay on until Sunday, but this was the last extension possible
for talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which began on
Wednesday.
