With our vast markets and great potential, we can exert significant influence,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that China wants to resume free trade talks with its neighbours and expand membership of the 15-nation Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing is said to be at odds with Tokyo and Seoul on several key issues, including its support of North Korea, its intensifying military activity around Taiwan, and its backing of Russia in its war with Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>US allies Japan and South Korea, which each host thousands of US troops, share Washington\u2019s view that China, the world\u2019s second-largest economy, poses a growing threat to regional security.<\/p>\n<p>Cho said he had asked China in the meeting to help persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also stressed that illegal military cooperation between Russia and North Korea should stop immediately, and that North Korea should not be rewarded for its wrongdoings in the course of bringing about the end of the war in Ukraine,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Iwaya is said to meet separately with his Chinese and South Korean counterparts, including the first high-level economic dialogue with Beijing in six years.<\/p>\n<p>That meeting will include discussion of a ban on Japanese seafood imports imposed by China after the release of wastewater from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant from 2023, Iwaya said this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
