Japanese Prime Minister Abe in China for first time in 7 years to forge closer ties with Beijing
- 5 years ago
아베 방중, 북핵부터 통화 스와프까지 다양한 주제 다뤄, 시진핑과의 회담은 저녁에
It's day two of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to China,... and on Friday he and President Xi Jinping held their summit.
President Xi said that the international situation is changing and emphasized that the two countries are increasingly dependent on one another.
Abe said he hopes to use his visit as an opportunity to boost ties between the two countries and enter a new phase of relations -- moving from competition to cooperation.
Abe met earlier Friday with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and signed a broad range of agreements, including a 30-billion U.S. dollar currency swap pact.
This is the first time in 7 years that a Japanese leader has visited Beijing, as ties between the two became frosty due to their dispute over the Senkaku Islands, known in China as Diaoyu.
