Ministers meet in Myanmar

CHINA’S Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on Japan to make practical efforts to overcome existing political obstacles between the two sides at an informal meeting with his Japanese counterpart during an ASEAN summit in Myanmar.

According to a statement on the website of China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang met Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida on the sidelines of the ASEAN Regional Forum in Naypyidaw on Saturday. It gave no further details.

Tensions between the two countries have risen in recent months. Relations have also been hurt by Abe’s visit to the Yasukuni war shrine, which honors Japanese war criminals and is a symbol of Japan’s wartime militarism.
