Hu ends 'successful' Japan visit
Chinese President Hu Jintao toured two ancient Buddhist temples and a leading electronics company yesterday on the last day of what he termed a successful Japan visit.
"This trip was satisfactory and successful," Hu told Nara Gov. Shogo Arai at a luncheon after the temple visits that was televised in part by public broadcaster NHK.
"Exchanges between China and Japan have been successful in many areas, and are expected to develop further," Hu said.
Hu toured the 7th century Horyuji Temple in Nara, which includes some of the world's oldest surviving wooden buildings, and told senior priests that cultural exchanges and deeper understanding are key to good relations.
