China and Japan wrap up talks, vow to improve ties 12 minutes ago
BEIJING (AFP) - Ministers from China and Japan wrapped up three days of closed-door strategic talks over the weekend,
vowing
to
build
"mutually beneficial"
ties,
Chinese state media reported.
The talks,
the seventh in a series kicked off in 2005,
were carried out
by
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister
Dai Bingguo
and
Japan's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs
Shotaro Yachi,
the Xinhua news agency reported.
"The strategic dialogue
(has)
played
a
role
in removing political obstacles
in
bilateral relations
and getting relations back on track,"
Dai said,
according to Xinhua.
The talks began Thursday in Beijing and later moved to Hangzhou, a city in eastern China.
Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing used them to confirm
Chinese Prime Minister
Wen Jiabao
plans
to visit Japan this spring,
according to earlier state media reports.
"Both sides should work for a complete success of the visit and for long-term,
sound and stable progress
of
bilateral
ties,"
Li was quoted as telling the Japanese minister
during one of the sessions.
Wen will become the first Chinese leader to visit Japan
since former premier Zhu Rongji in 2000.
The two Asian giants appear eager
to
improve relations
which have been frosty in recent years,
despite close economic ties.
They have struggled over a range of disputes,
including Japan's military occupation of China
last century ？
and
rival claims for natural resources
in the East China Sea.
