Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is wrapping up his three-day visit to Japan with a trip to the country's ancient capital, Kyoto. Mr. Wen attended a traditional Japanese tea ceremony Friday in Kyoto, held in a room that had the phrase "mutual respect" written in calligraphy on the wall. Earlier Friday in Tokyo, Mr. Wen said many people believe the aim of his "ice-melting" trip had been achieved. But he said not all problems have been resolved, and more time is needed to address all the issues.
On Thursday, Mr. Wen addressed Japan's parliament and urged the two nations to work toward more cooperation. He also called on Japanese politicians to face up to the country's wartime aggression. China and Japan have strong economic ties, but political relations have worsened in recent years, mainly because of issues involving Japan's acknowledgment of its wartime past.
