Japanese Foreign Minister met with her Chinese counterpart in Laos

Japanese Foreign Minister Kamikawa Yoko has met with her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Laos on Friday on the sidelines of ASEAN-related foreign ministers’ meetings in Vientiane. It was the first meeting between the two since they met last November in the South Korean city of Busan.

At the beginning of the meeting, Kamikawa said Japan and China share many possibilities while facing unresolved issues. She underscored the need for the two countries to continue dialogue in a multi-layered and persistent way as they coexist as neighbors and members of the international community.
