 JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Japan said Saturday that its Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi would meet with Chinese President Hu Jintao in an effort to settle an ongoing dispute over its handling of its wartime atrocities.
The announcement came a day after Koizumi apologized for his country's World War II aggression in an apparent bid to defuse current tensions, which have been marked by massive anti-Japanese protests in several Chinese cities.
The meeting would take place along the sidelines of a summit of Asian and African leaders in Jakarta Saturday evening.
