China and Japan maintained exchanges "at various levels," Beijing said on Tuesday.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a regular press briefing in response to reports of a planned visit by Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi to China.

"For this specific visit mentioned above, I have nothing to share at the moment," Wang said. "A stable and constructive China-Japan relationship that meets the needs of the new era serves the interests of both countries."
