The Japanese government is considering the possibility of Prime Minister Sana Takaichi's participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, which will be held on November 18-19 in Shenzhen, China. This is what Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said. According to the head of the Foreign Ministry, Tokyo expects to organize the trip if circumstances permit. At the same time, the Japanese side has not yet indicated whether Takaichi will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Tokyo fears a rapprochement between the US and China and proposes containment measures. Mutagi said that the government is considering the possibility of holding various bilateral negotiations, but there are no concrete agreements yet. He also emphasized that China remains an important neighbor to Japan and expressed Tokyo's interest in building constructive and stable relations through dialogue. Relations between the two countries deteriorated sharply after Takaichi's declaration to the Japanese Diet in November 2025.
