TOKYO, OCT 31 – Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is arranging his first summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping outside an international gathering in mid-November, Kyodo news agency said citing sources today.
The Japanese prime minister is expected to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum summit from November 15 to 16 in Peru and the Group of 20 leaders meeting from November 18 to 19 in Brazil.
The bilateral summit is most likely to take place in Peru, the source said.
Ishiba is expected to call for the early resumption of Japanese marine product shipments to China, after the country agreed last month to gradually lift a ban on seafood imports from Japan.
China imposed the ban after the release of treated radioactive water into the sea from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant began in August last year. – Named
