Japanese business leaders' delegation eyes trip to China in March
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- A delegation headed by leaders from Japan's major business organizations is considering visiting Beijing next March, sources familiar
A delegation of prominent Japanese business leaders is contemplating a trip to Beijing in March, according to sources familiar with the planning. The visit, organized by the Japan-China Economic Association, would be Tsutsui Yoshinobu's first as chairman of Keidanren, Japan's leading business lobby. The delegation, which may also include Kosei Shindo and Ken Kobayashi, aims to engage in discussions with senior Chinese officials under President Xi Jinping.
This proposed trip follows a previous visit that was postponed last January due to diplomatic tensions. The group plans to carefully assess China's position towards Japan ahead of the March visit. The last time the delegation traveled to China was in 2023, with a break during the COVID-19 pandemic.
