A summit is being suggested by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to mend relations with China damaged by a territorial dispute, according to Japanese media.
The Kyodo news agency quoted Abe as saying there might be "a need to re-establish the relationship, starting with a summit."
But the prime minister reiterated that the territorial issue, concerning the Diaoyu Islands, was non-negotiable, Kyodo's report said.
Abe's comments on a TV program came after a visit to China by Natsuo Yamaguchi, leader of the New Komeito party which forms the coalition government with Abe's Liberal Democratic Party.
On Saturday, Yamaguchi briefed Abe on his visit to China, which the prime minister called "important."
