Vice Premier He Lifeng visited Japan and met with Hiroyuki Moriyama, Secretary-General of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. 

They reportedly held a 30 minute meeting about the resumption of Japanese beef exports to China.

Japan later announced that the relevant agreement on the resumption of Japanese beef exports to China would take effect. China suspended the import of Japanese beef in 2001 following an outbreak of mad cow disease.

Local media reported that China has also approved three Japanese companies to register for export of seafood.

He Lifeng earlier attended China's National Pavilion Day at the Expo 2025 in Osaka and delivered a speech. 

He highlighted that the World Expo serves as an important platform for promoting mutual learning among civilizations, fostering social progress, and strengthening friendship among peoples. 

The Chinese government attaches great importance to the country's participation in Expo 2025 Osaka, he said, noting that the China Pavilion showcased China's practices in ecological civilization and promoted the country's development philosophy of respecting, adapting to, and protecting nature.
