Japan's Economy, Trade and Industry Minister, Toshihiro Nikai, is also in Beijing for a three-day visit of China.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said the Japanese Minister's visit will involve economic and trade talks.He said the talks will most likely cover the dispute over gas exploration and drilling rights in the East China Sea. China and Japan have generally experienced sound economic cooperation, but the contentious issue of how Japan is handling the officials visiting to Yasukuni shrine still remains.
