At the top of Iwaya's agenda is China’s ban on Japanese seafood in response to the release of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, as well as China’s increasingly assertive military activity in the East and South China Seas. “ China is willing to work together with Japan to move towards the important direction proposed by the leaders of the two countries.” "I want to build a relationship where the people of both countries feel that Japan-China relations have developed and progressed in a positive direction," said Iwaya, ahead of his meeting with Wang. “The relationship with China, our neighboring country, is one of Japan’s most important,” Iwaya told reporters Tuesday.
