China's top diplomat Yang to visit Japan on Feb. 28 and 29
TOKYO (Kyodo) – China's foreign policy chief Yang Jiechi will visit Japan on Feb. 28 and 29, a Japanese government source said Friday, amid expectations that Chinese President Xi Jinping may postpone an upcoming state visit to deal with the coronavirus outbreak.
Xi had been expected to visit Japan in around early April for meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Emperor Naruhito.
The visit would follow a recent improvement in the bilateral relations, with Abe stressing the importance of stepping up cooperation despite a territorial row over a group of Japan-controlled islets in the East China Sea and other issues of dispute.
