BEIJING, 19 August 2022, (TON): A Japanese government official said “Japan’s national security adviser met China’s top diplomat for seven hours of talks that covered topics including Taiwan and the war in Ukraine.”
The official told “accepting an invitation from China, Takeo Akiba travelled to the city of Tianjin, southeast of Beijing, to meet Yang Jiechi on Wednesday afternoon.”
Chinese state news agency Xinhua also reported that the pair had met, weeks before the countries commemorate the 50th anniversary of their normalised ties on September 29.
Relations between Asia’s two biggest economies are not always friendly, and have long been beset by issues ranging from wartime history to territorial disputes.
