Abe held bilateral meetings with Chinese Vice President Wang Qishan, Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-Ocha, and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
Wang presented Abe with a congratulatory message for Emperor Naruhito from Chinese President Xi Jinping, while Abe exchanged views with Thailand's Prayuth on the upcoming November ASEAN-related Summit meetings, an official government press release said.
