Deal with history responsibly, Li urges Abe

Premier Li Keqiang has urged Japan to properly tackle the issue of history "in a responsible manner" and to "undertake positive policies toward China".

He made the comments when meeting with his Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe for the first time in his capacity as premier on Sunday in Seoul.

At the invitation of Japan, the meeting took place at the hotel where Li is staying. Both leaders attended the sixth China-Japan-ROK Leaders Meeting earlier in the day.
