Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party's (LDP) coalition ally on Thursday urged the government to overcome differences in opinions with China over an ongoing territorial dispute in the interest of improving relations.
Yamaguchi is the first senior member of the Japanese ruling bloc to travel to China since the Japanese government announced in September the "purchase" of part of the Diaoyu Islands, a move that soured bilateral relations.
Beijing says the latest meeting with a senior Japanese leader, in a bid to mend the tense ties between two countries on the territorial dispute, was helpful.
Japan's New Komeito Party's leader Natsuo Yamaguchi said Thursday that he will pay a four-day visit to China from next Tuesday, aiming at relieving tensions between the two countries due to territorial dispute.
