Japanese official in Beijing for talks aimed at mending ties

THE Japanese government has sent its deputy foreign minister to China on a two-day trip to repair ties frayed over the Diaoyu Islands.

Chikao Kawai arrived in Beijing yesterday afternoon, and is expected to hold talks today with Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun.

"As requested by the Japanese, China agrees to receive Kawai to visit from September 24 to 25," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei announced at a press conference yesterday.

"China will state its solemn position on the Diaoyu Islands, urge the Japanese to correct its wrongdoing and make efforts to improve ties," Hong said.
