Neighbors share willingness to improve their ties

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi's less than 48-hour stay in Tokyo last week was full of meetings.

He held talks with his Japanese and Republic of Korea counterparts Fumio Kishida and Yun Byung-se, both bilateral and trilateral, and he met with Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

He also talked with Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai, former Japanese prime minister Yasuo Fukuda, and former Japanese chief cabinet secretary Yohei Kono.
