TOKYO— Japan and China are expected to agree as early as this month on resuming travel by both short- and long-term businesspeople between the 2 countries, Japanese government sources said Tuesday.

The nations are looking to revive their coronavirus pandemic-hit economies, the world's second and third largest, through a restart of 2-way business travel.

Under the envisioned agreement, short-term business travelers will be exempted from having to enter 14-day self-isolation upon arrival to the respective countries provided they take necessary preventive measures against spreading the coronavirus, such as turning in their travel itineraries and providing proof of negative test results, the sources said.

Japanese and Chinese officials have been in negotiations to reopen borders reciprocally since July, given the relatively low number of coronavirus infections in their respective countries, they said.
