Japan will help China raise its energy efficiency and conserve its environment, officials said at the start of a joint forum in Tokyo on Monday.
About 240 people from China, including government and business officials and researchers, are attending the three-day forum along with their Japanese counterparts, according to Makoto Sasaki of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
METI minister Toshiro Nikai said Japan had built up a wealth of expertise and technology in the energy and environmental fields, and was prepared to assist China as it tackles the environmental challenges posed by its rapid economic growth.
