Japanese campaign adviser, Isao Iijima, has said Sunday that he believes Japan and China might hold summit talks soon.
According to the Japan Times, Iijima had discussed the possibility of talks between Japanese premier Shinzo Abe and Chinese President Xi Jinping with Xi's close associates during a four-day visit to Beijing.
Earlier, Iijima's secret visit to Pyongyang for talks with senior North Korean officials to circumvent the six-party denuclearization talks involving South Korea and the United States was revealed.
Iijima also said that Abe does not need to reshuffle his Cabinet following the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's resounding victory in the Upper House election.
