Japan, China agree to push infrastructure development
BEIJING - Japan and China agreed Saturday that the two countries will work together where they can to facilitate infrastructure development in Asia, as they held a meeting of their finance ministers for the first time in more than three years amid a broader thaw in bilateral relations.
"It is very clear that there is massive demand for infrastructure in Asia," Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso told reporters after the meeting in Beijing.
"For Japan, what is most important is infrastructure of good quality will be built in Asia," he said.
