Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had no arrangement for any meeting with the Japanese side in Manila, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told media at a regular press briefing on Thursday.

Lin said Wang's tight schedule could not allow his full attendance at the series of foreign ministers' meetings on East Asia Cooperation, adding that Chinese senior officials will attend the ASEAN Plus Three (China, Japan, the Republic of Korea) Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers' Meeting and the ASEAN Regional Forum Foreign Ministers' Meeting as representatives.
