PRIME Minister Tony Abbott will meet Japan's revered emperor at his palace ahead of an announcement about the outcome of free trade talks in Tokyo.
Mr Abbott on Monday will be formally welcomed to Japan, after spending the prior day in Tokyo mingling with business leaders and dining with his counterpart Shinzo Abe.
He wants to finalise a free trade deal with Japan during his visit, but negotiators in Tokyo have failed to reach a satisfactory agreement so far.
Mr Abbott is confident a deal can be struck, but as talks get down to the wire he won't miss an opportunity to sell the benefits of freer trade with Australia.
"More trade will make both countries richer and our relationship even stronger," he will tell the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday.
"Eventually, this will be seen as a milestone in our relationship."
Mr Abbott promised at the September election to secure free trade deals with Japan, China and South Korea within 12 months, despite some negotiations having dragged on for years.
The outcome of these latest talks is expected to be announced by both leaders on Monday evening ahead of a formal dinner with Prime Minister Abe at Japan's state guest house.
But before then Mr Abbott will meet Emperor Akihito, the head of Japan's royal family, at the Imperial Palace in the nation's capital.
He will also make history on his first official trip to North Asia when he later becomes the first foreign leader to speak at Japan's high-level National Security Council.
