Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi may visit Japan as early as next month for meetings with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Wang’s counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi, Japanese government sources said Thursday.
Wang would be the first senior diplomat of the Chinese government to visit Japan since Suga succeeded Shinzo Abe and formed a new Cabinet last month.
The Japanese and Chinese governments will begin arranging a specific schedule for the visit soon, according to the sources.
