China's top nuclear envoy to visit Japan

Beijing, April 1: China's special representative for Korean peninsula affairs Wu Dawei will pay a visit to Japan in early April, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said on Friday.

While in Japan, Wu will hold discussions on the resumption of the six-party talks aimed at denuclearising the Korean peninsula, Xinhua quoted Hong as saying.

The six-party talks, convening North Korea, South Korea, China, the US, Russia and Japan, have been stalled since late 2008.
