Foreign ministers of Japan and China to meet in New York By Reuters

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa will meet her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in New York on Monday, the Foreign Ministry announced.

Kamikawa will ask for security to be provided after the stabbing of a Japanese schoolboy in China, public broadcaster NHK reported.

A child enrolled at a Japanese school has died after being stabbed last week in southern China’s Shenzhen, the second such attack near Japanese educational centers in the country in recent months.

Some Japanese companies in China offered to send their staff and families home following the incident, Reuters reported, as such safety concerns come as ties between the countries are strained.
