Japan Post Group said Thursday it and Britain's state-owned postal service operator Royal Mail have agreed to strengthen their partnership as both prepare to become publicly listed companies.

Japan Post, controlled by the government, will exchange information with Royal Mail, on how to prepare for listing and reconstruct struggling postal services amid the diffusion of e-mail.

When Japan Post's executive Kunio Tanigaki visited Britain from Sunday to Wednesday, he discussed with executives of Royal Mail the management of postal services and agreed with them to continue information sharing.

Royal Mail aims for listing by the end of March next year and plans to maintain mail delivery service across the country after going public, in a similar way as Japan Post has under a 10-year privatization process of postal services begun in 2007.

Japan Post aims to become publicly listed in the spring of 2015.
