China has invited Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for a visit at a time that is convenient for both sides, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said on Thursday.

"Diplomatic authorities of the two countries are maintaining communication on this issue," Lu told a daily press briefing, calling on both sides to "meet each other halfway" to facilitate a favorable environment for the visit.

Lu made the remarks in response to media reports that Abe plans to visit China as early as October.
