Japan, China OK defense powwow
Kyodo News
Japan and China agreed Saturday to a meeting between Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa and Chinese counterpart Liang Guanglie in Hanoi on Monday, sources familiar with bilateral relations said.
It will be the first ministerial-level talks since China suspended such meetings in response to Japan's arrest of a Chinese fishing boat captain Sept. 7 near the disputed Senkaku Islands. The two sides agreed to resume ministerial-level exchanges earlier in the week.
Kitazawa and Liang, who last met in November, will meet for about 30 minutes at a hotel in the Vietnamese capital, where they are expected to reaffirm the significance of a strategic relationship that benefits both sides and discuss future bilateral defense exchanges, the sources said.
Both sides are also likely to maintain their sovereignty claims to the disputed isles.
Kitazawa, who had been calling for the meeting since late last month, is expected to propose establishing a liaison system to deal with unexpected incidents, such as one in April in which a Chinese Navy helicopter buzzed a Maritime Self-Defense Force vessel in the East China Sea.
Japan's ties with China have been strained since the Chinese fishing boat collided with Japan Coast Guard cutters near the disputed chain of Japanese-held islets. The islets are also claimed by China and Taiwan.
Kitazawa will visit Hanoi on Sunday and meet his counterparts from Vietnam, the United States and other countries to seek cooperation in stepping up maritime security.
Expo tour revived
Kyodo News
In a diplomatic reversal, China will allow a group of 1,000 young Japanese go to the Shanghai World Expo after all, according to the liaison office for the visit in Tokyo.
The visit, to start on Oct. 27, was canceled during China's bilateral spat with Japan over the arrest of a fishing boat captain off disputed isles in September. But the Japan-China Friendship Center in Tokyo said on its website Sunday that the Chinese government had recently notified the foreign ministry that the visit will be permitted from Oct. 27 to 30.
The move came after the release Saturday of a Fujita Corp. employee in China who was detained for allegedly entering a military zone in Hebei Province without permission, It also followed an Oct. 4 agreement between Prime Minister Naoto Kan and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in Brussels to mend ties.
The exchange program promoted by the two governments and endorsed at a bilateral summit was originally planned to take place on Sept. 21. But the Chinese host organization, which has close ties with the Chinese Communist Party's youth group, notified the Japanese Embassy on Sept. 19 that it was "inappropriate to carry out the goodwill exchange program in the current atmosphere."
China said the postponement was due to anti-Japanese demonstrations stirred by collisions between a Chinese fishing boat and Japanese patrol vessels on Sept. 7 off the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
After Japanese authorities arrested the captain of the Chinese boat and handed him over to prosecutors, after earlier releasing the rest of the crew, China unilaterally suspended high-level exchanges with Japan and claimed the captain was being illegally detained.
