While the UK would lose its role as a gateway to Europe after Brexit, it would retain its "global strength"
He also urged the UK and EU to use "wisdom" to avoid a no-deal scenario.
The partnership is a trade agreement among 11 countries, including Japan, Canada, Australia and Malaysia.
Abe's comments are likely to be welcomed by Brexit supporters, who argue that Britain would be able to strike trade deals more easily outside the EU.
The UK is due to leave the EU on March 29, 2019.
The UK would only be able to join the bloc if it leaves the EU customs union and was able to set its own tariffs.
