日本欢迎中国国家主席胡锦涛可能来访 (Japan Welcomes Possible Visit Of Chinese President Hu Jintao)

日本政府官房长官安倍晋三说，东京欢迎中国国家主席胡锦涛访问日本。安倍晋三星期一说，胡锦涛希望能访问日本的表示反映出东京和北京关系的重要性。胡锦涛星期六对一位日本外交官说，他希望在适当的时间和条件下访问日本。

日中两国关系由于对历史的理解和自然资源开采权的争议而陷于紧张。一个主要分歧点是日本首相小泉纯一郎不断参拜东京靖国神社，那里供奉着包括一些日本战犯在内的战争亡灵。

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Shinzo Abe says Tokyo would welcome a visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao. Shinzo Abe said Monday that Mr. Hu's statement that he would like to go to Japan reflects the importance of relations between Tokyo and Beijing. Mr. Hu Jintao told a Japanese diplomat Saturday that he hopes to visit Japan at an appropriate time under the right conditions.

Relations between the two countries have been strained by disputes over interpretations of history and rights to natural resources. One main sticking point has been the repeated visits by Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to Tokyo's Yasukuni shrine, where some convicted war criminals are honored along with Japan's other war dead.
