China's top diplomat Wang Yi said on Thursday that the world is watching Japan's reactions as the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II nears.

The foreign minister made the comment to Chinese reporters after a meeting with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida on the sidelines of a series of meetings on East Asia cooperation in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

"Of course we are waiting to see (Japan's next moves)," CCTV reported Wang as saying.
