Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya visited Beijing to meet with top Chinese leaders in an effort to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. This visit marks the first high-level interaction since the recent summit between the heads of Japan and China in Peru.
One of the key issues on the agenda is China's ban on Japanese seafood, which was imposed in response to the release of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea. Additionally, concerns have been raised about China's growing military presence in the East and South China Seas.
