Wang Yi says China-Japan ties must be normalized in rare meeting
Original: China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, said relations with Tokyo must be "normalized," during talks with ex-Japanese Foreign Min
China's top diplomat Wang Yi told former Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya that relations between Beijing and Tokyo must be "normalized," during their talks. The meeting is the first high-level exchange since relations plummeted over Taiwan last year, and is being read as an early signal that both sides may be looking to stabilise a badly strained diplomatic relationship.
Why now: It is the first senior China-Japan contact since ties deteriorated over Taiwan, suggesting a possible thaw.
