Islands claim stressed as foreign ministers meet

FOREIGN Minister Yang Jiechi stressed China's claim to the Diaoyu Islands when he met Japanese counterpart Koichiro Gemba in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

During a meeting requested by Gemba, Yang said Japan's so-called "nationalization" of the Diaoyu Islands was a gross violation of China's territorial integrity and sovereignty, and a grave challenge to the post-war international order.

"The Chinese side will by no means tolerate any unilateral actions by the Japanese side on the Diaoyu Islands," Yang said. "China will continue to take firm measures to safeguard its territorial integrity and sovereignty."

Both sides promised to maintain consultations on the issue.
