China, Japan Leaders Xi And Abe Meet At G20 -- BBC
The Chinese and Japanese leaders have shaken hands and spoken to each other in an unexpected meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
China's Xi Jinping and Japan's Shinzo Abe have not met since they took power in March 2013 and December 2012 respectively.
Ties between the two sides have been severely strained by a territorial dispute.

Since then, Chinese government vessels have been sailing in and out of what Japan says are its territorial waters around the islands, prompting fears of an accidental clash or escalation.
