BEIJING (AP) - Japan's trade minister said Tuesday he is determined to make progress in settling bitter disputes with China this week during the highest-level talks between the two nations since relations soured last October.
Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Toshihiro Nikai will meet with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, China's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.
The trip is an effort to repair ties severely frayed by disputes over issues such as Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's much-publicized visits to a Tokyo shrine that honors war dead, including convicted war criminals.
