安倍首相、習主席と来月会談で調整　「日中韓」前に北京訪問

　安倍晋三首相は１２月下旬に中国・北京を訪れ、習近平国家主席と会談する調整に入った。日本政府関係者が９日、明らかにした。内陸部の四川省成都市で開かれる日中韓首脳会談に合わせたもの。来春には習氏が国賓として来日する予定で、日中両政府は一連の首脳会談を通じて両国関係を本格的に改善させたい考えだ。
　今回の訪中は１２月２３～２５日が軸。北京訪問後に成都へ移る。日中韓首脳会談には中国の李克強首相と韓国の文在寅大統領が出席。冷え込んだ日韓関係の打開に向け、安倍、文両氏の個別会談が行われるかが焦点だ。（2019/11/09-15:34）

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is looking to hold talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing during his upcoming visit to China next month, Japanese government sources said Saturday.
   Abe is slated to attend a three-way summit with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and South Korean President Moon Jae-in in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, in late December.
   The Japanese leader is expected to first visit Beijing and travel to the inland Chinese city. His China trip is being arranged mainly for Dec. 23-25.
   Abe appears eager to drastically improve Japan-China ties, with Xi set to visit Japan as a state guest next spring.
   The prime minister last visited China in October 2018, while his last talks with Xi took place in June this year, on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in the western Japan city of Osaka.
