China's Wen signals an easing of Japan agricultural imports

Wen, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan and South Korea's President Lee Myung-bak meet for an annual summit of East Asia's three leading economic powers this weekend, with talks due to focus on cooperation in disaster relief and nuclear safety.

In a show of support for Japan's battle with a prolonged humanitarian and nuclear crisis, the three leaders made a brief stopover Fukushima city, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) northwest from the stricken power plant that triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.

Outside a sports complex that was turned into an evacuation center after the quake, the three leaders ate cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from the region in an effort to demonstrate that its food products were safe.
