Stocks in Asia advance; BOJ chief flags concerns over trade protectionism

Shares in major Asian stock markets were higher on the day. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said "some sort of protectionism" around global trade was the "most serious risk involved in the global economy," in an interview with CNBC that aired on Monday. Kuroda's comments come as the U.S and Japan kicked off trade talks in Washington on Monday.
