July 11, 2012 16:32

China told Japan today it should respect Beijing's "indisputable sovereignty" over islands claimed by both countries in the East China Sea which are again the cause of fresh tension.

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Liechi met with Japanese counterpart Koichiro Gemba in Phnom Penh where he "reaffirmed China's principled position" on the islands known as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese.

"He stressed that Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated islets have always been China's territory since ancient times, over which China has indisputable sovereignty," said a statement from the Chinese delegation.
