Wen kicks off "ice-thawing" visit to Japan

TOKYO, April 11 - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao arrived here Wednesday for a
three-day official visit he described as an "ice thawer" of Sino-Japanese
ties following the "ice-breaking" trip to China last October by his
Japanese counterpart Shinzo Abe.
The visit is the first by a Chinese premier since 2000 and occurs against
the backdrop of the two countries working hard to mend relations.
Their relationship turned frosty under Abe's predecessor, Junichiro
Koizumi, largely due to his annual visits to the Yasukuni shrine, where
Japan's war dead including 14 class-A World War II criminals were
enshrined.
"If Prime Minister Abe's visit to China... can be described as an ice
breaker, then I hope my visit to Japan will be an ice thawer," Wen told
the press before his visit.
Abe chose China as the destination for his first overseas trip after
taking office in September, a move believed to be a sign of the new prime
minister's eagerness to improve relations with China.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry officials have revealed that the economic
issue will be high up on Wen's agenda.
China and Japan will draft a joint document spelling out the two
countries' aspirations to build a strategic, mutually beneficial
relationship, and the major tasks involved in this relationship,
according to Chinese officials.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said that through the visit, Wen
also hopes to promote long-term educational, cultural and youth exchanges
between the two countries that would boost good-neighborly relations
between China and Japan.
During his stay, Wen is expected to hold talks with Abe and deliver a
speech in the Japanese Diet (or parliament), the first by a Chinese
leader in 22 years.
In the 35 years since they normalized relations, China and Japan have
witnessed a steady growth of bilateral exchanges. The two countries also
disagree over historical issues and dispute over natural gas fields in
the East China Sea.
