中国外相、２４日にも来日　菅首相と会談

　日中両政府は、中国の王毅国務委員兼外相が今月下旬に日本を訪問し、菅義偉首相や茂木敏充外相と会談する方向で最終調整に入った。２４日か２５日の来日が有力で、菅氏との会談は２５日を軸に調整している。複数の日本政府関係者が１５日、明らかにした。
　一連の会談では、米大統領選の結果も踏まえた今後の国際情勢や新型コロナウイルスへの対応などが協議される見通し。コロナの影響で延期された習近平国家主席の国賓来日や、沖縄県・尖閣諸島沖での中国公船の活動についても意見が交わされそうだ。（2020/11/15-14:22）

The Japanese and Chinese governments are arranging a visit to Japan by Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in late November, Japanese government sources said Sunday.
   Wang is likely to make the visit on Nov. 24 or 25, and the two governments are working to set up a meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Wang on Nov. 25, according to the sources.
   Wang is also seen holding talks with his Japanese counterpart, Toshimitsu Motegi, during the visit.
   The bilateral meetings are expected to take up the international situation after the U.S. presidential election and responses to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
   The officials are also likely to exchange views on a visit to Japan by Chinese President Xi Jinping that has been postponed due to the coronavirus crisis, as well as Chinese government ships' activities in waters around the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture. China claims the islands, calling them Diaoyu.
