Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told China’s top diplomat he would like to work with China to try to rein in North Korea’s nuclear and missile programmes.

In return, Mr Yang said he hoped all parties play a constructive role in resolving the issue.
This partnership takes on an especially symbolic importance given the dark history of Sino-Japanese relations, highlighted by the ‘Rape of Nanking’ in 1937, an atrocity committed by Japan which left hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians dead.
