Koizumi: Japan-China relations not limited to Yasukuni (Kyodo) Updated: 2005-10-19 15:54
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said Wednesday that relations between Japan
and China are not limited to the issue of Yasukuni, following China's strong
reaction to his latest visit to the war-linked shrine on Monday.
"Japan-China relations are not defined entirely by Yasukuni alone. I,
Junichiro Koizumi, the prime minister of Japan, paid homage as a citizen to
express respect and gratitude," Koizumi told at a Diet session.
