TOKYO -- Japan has "no plans, nor is making any preparations" for a phone call between new Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato told reporters Wednesday.
On Saturday, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked Japan to explain comments made a day earlier by former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori during a meeting with Tsai, suggesting that Suga would talk with the president by phone if the opportunity arose.
