(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Chinese President Xi Jinping has met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at a time of warming ties between the two nations.
Relations have historically been strained, but concerns over US trade policy and North Korea’s nuclear programme have shifted them closer.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of the forthcoming G20 summit in Japan.
“I want to open up a new age of Japan-China relations hand in hand with President Xi,” Mr Abe told reporters.
