The meeting would be held alongside an international conference set to take place in Southeast Asia, the Sankei said, citing multiple government sources.
The latest in-person China-Japan summit was in 2019, when Xi met with then-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Beijing. Xi was set to visit Japan in 2020 as a state guest, but the trip was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
