Tokyo, Beijing to arrange security talks after Taiwan drills

Sources close to the matter said Wednesday Tokyo and Beijing are arranging high-level security talks in China, with the two sides trying to avoid a further deterioration of ties following Beijing's major military exercises near Taiwan earlier this month.

Tokyo is expected to convey its concern over the drills Beijing conducted in response to U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan and underscore the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait during the upcoming meeting between Japanese national security adviser Takeo Akiba and top Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi.
