BEIJING -- China and Japan will hold the sixth round of strategic dialogue in
Tokyo on September 23 and 24, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman announced
Thursday.
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo and Japanese Vice Minister for
Foreign Affairs Yachi Shotaro would head the two delegations to the meeting,
spokesman Qin Gang said.
"China would like to take this opportunity to exchange views with Japan on
bilateral ties and other issues of common concern," Qin said.
It was still unknown whether Dai would meet with Shinzo Abe, the
newly-elected President of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Qin said.
China and Japan held the previous five rounds of strategic dialogue in May,
June and October last year, and February and May this year.
