HONG KONG (Reuters) – China’s President Xi Jinping said China and Japan share extensive common interests and have scope for cooperation when he held a phone call on Friday with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, state broadcaster CCTV said.
China hopes both countries will jointly maintain a stable supply chain and fair and open investment environments, CCTV quoted Xi as saying.
It was the first conversation between the two leaders.
