Thaw bodes well for Sino-Japanese ties

High-level exchanges mark renewed commitment to collaboration: Experts

There is a new warmth in Sino-Japanese relations, and experts believe a fresh chapter is unfolding.

During a meeting with senior officials from Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, Komeito, on Thursday, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru again expressed his strong desire to visit China at the earliest opportunity.

A delegation of LDP and Komeito officials is in China this week at the invitation of the Communist Party of China for the ninth meeting of the China-Japan ruling party exchange mechanism.
