China’s government requested that both Japan and the mainland allow visa free entry to the other nation’s citizens to simplify travel between them, the Chinese Commerce Minister told a group of visiting Japanese businesspeople this week, according to a member of the contingent.
In the Tuesday meeting between retired Japanese lawmaker Yohei Kono, Japanese executives and Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, some of the Japanese business group complained about the difficulty of getting visas to travel to the mainland, according to a briefing Wednesday by Kazuo Koga, who is Kono’s secretary and attended the meeting.
