Japan, China to resume long-stalled ministerial talks next year

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang agreed Sunday, in their first one-on-one talks, that the two countries will resume high-level economic dialogue at an early date next year.

The dialogue, which will involve numerous ministers, has been on hold since 2010.

The restart of the framework, which has been co-hosted by the Japanese foreign minister and a Chinese vice premier, is further evidence of a gradual-but-sure improvement in diplomatic relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
