BEIJING — With Prime Minister Naoto Kan and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao holding an impromptu chat in Brussels, Chinese experts said Wednesday the process for mending the bilateral discord has begun.
The experts believe Kan and Wen will hold another round of talks aimed at improved relations when they attend a series of Asian summits slated for late October in Hanoi.
"The two leaders met to tell each other they don't want ties to continue souring," Wu Jinan, director of the Department of Japanese Studies at the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, said in the Wednesday issue of the China Daily. "But meeting is only the start of efforts to repair ties."
