　　10月27日，日本首相安倍晋三结束对中国为期三天的正式访问，返回日本。这是七年来日本首相首次访华。

　　According to Japanese media, during the bilateral meetings Japan vowed to relax visa regulations for Chinese visitors.

　　据日本媒体报道，在双边会晤期间，日本承诺放宽对中国游客的签证规定。

　　Both sides also reached an agreement that they hoped to see at least 30,000 teenagers from the two countries to participate in bilateral communication within five years, Japan’s Sankei News reported.

　　据日本《产经新闻》报道，双方还达成了一项协议，希望两国至少3万名青少年在五年内参与双边交流。

　　Japan decided to adopt a preferential policy for undergraduate and graduate students, from colleges and universities which are under the direct supervision of China’s Ministry of Education, for a single-entry tourist visa.
