According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi announced during his visit to Peking on December 25 that visa relaxation measures for Chinese citizens would be implemented. These measures specifically include the establishment of a 10-year tourist visa, and extending the stay duration for group travel visas from 15 days to 30 days to promote economic and cultural exchanges between China and Japan. The aforementioned relaxation measures are expected to be implemented in the spring of 2025 after preparations are completed. (China Overseas Chinese Network)
