Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (L) meets with Chinese parliament chief Wu Bangguo at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Sunday October 8, 2006. The visit by Abe marks the first formal summit between the countries' leaders in five years, after China canceled previous meetings to protest pilgrimages to a Tokyo war shrine by Abe's predecessor, Junichiro Koizumi.
