Chinese Communist Party Chairman Xi Jinping met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
Kishida statements following the meeting, plenty of points of contention between the two:
-
There are many areas of common interests as well as issues between
Japan and China - Was able to reaffirm
that we will work towards a strategic relationship based on mutual
interests - Sought calm response
from china regarding release of Fukushima wastewater - Conveyed my strong
concerns over situation over disputed Senkaku islands, as well as
increasing joint activities with Russia near Japanese waters - Sought swift release
of detained Japanese business persons - Held wide-ranging
discussions that included high-level export control talks - Asked china to
remove buoy around disputed Senkaku islands immediately - Will refrain from
commenting on how China leader Xi responded to requests for release
of detained Japanese person, removal of buoy
