　【北京時事】自民党の森山裕、公明党の西田実仁両幹事長らは１５日、中国・北京の人民大会堂で李強首相と会談した。石破茂首相から習近平国家主席に宛てた親書を手交。石破氏が早期訪中に意欲を示していることを踏まえ、李氏は「都合の良いときに訪問していただきたい」と歓迎する意向を表明した。要人を含む日中間の人的交流や経済交流の重要性も確認した。
　森山、西田両氏ら与党訪中団と李氏の会談は、１時間余り行われた。森山氏は交流推進に向け、邦人拘束や児童殺傷事件を念頭に「邦人の安全、安心の確保が不可欠だ」と指摘。日本産水産物の輸入規制にも触れ「早期に結果が出ることを期待する」と輸入再開を促した。強引な海洋進出への懸念を伝え、拉致問題を含む北朝鮮情勢についても意見交換した。（2025/01/15-19:43）

Chinese Premier Li Qiang said Wednesday that Beijing welcomes a visit by Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba to the country.
   China hopes that Ishiba will visit the country at a convenient time, Li said at a meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing with senior Japanese ruling coalition lawmakers.
   Li received a letter from Ishiba addressed to Chinese President Xi Jinping during the hourlong meeting with the Japanese lawmakers, including Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Hiroshi Moriyama and his Komeito counterpart, Makoto Nishida.
   The Chinese premier and the Japanese lawmakers confirmed the importance of people-to-people and economic exchanges between the two countries.
   Moriyama told Li that in order to promote the exchanges, it is essential to ensure the safety and security of Japanese nationals in China, apparently referring to incidents of Japanese citizens being detained or attacked in the country.
