BEIJING -- Tokyo's new ambassador to Beijing said on Friday that the two sides have yet to reach the point of setting a date for Chinese President Xi Jinping's long-postponed visit to Japan.

"We are not at the stage of discussing a concrete schedule," Hideo Tarumi said here during his first news briefing since taking the post last month.
