The delegation, headed by Wang Jiarui, head of the CPC International Department, was invited by the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party and Komei Party.

 

The meeting was part of the China-Japanese ruling parties exchange mechanism, which was established in 2004 and formally launched in February this year.
