The Japan-China Economic Association is making final arrangements to send a delegation to Beijing for a three-day visit from March 21 in a move that could contribute to mending fraught bilateral ties, association sources said Tuesday.
The delegation of Japanese corporate executives, led by Toyota Motor Corp. Chairman Fujio Cho, who serves as the association's chairman, is seeking talks with Xi Jinping, who is set to become China's president, on March 21 and 22, the sources said.
The association has also requested a meeting with Vice Premier Li Keqiang, who is set to become China's premier, they said.
