BEIJING (Kyodo) Prime Minister Taro Aso said Thursday he has agreed to cooperate with Chinese leaders to prevent the spread of the new swine-avian-human flu epidemic by exchanging information and joining on prevention measures.
At a press conference after his two-day visit to the Chinese capital, Aso also said the two countries agreed to cooperate closely in efforts to get Pyongyang to rejoin the now-stalled six-party talks aimed at denuclearizing North Korea.
Aso met with Chinese President Hu Jintao on Thursday and Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday.
