During their talks, Wen and Fukuda also touched upon the assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto on Thursday. Both expressed strong opposition against terrorist activities.

After the talks, the two witnessed the signing of three cooperation documents in fields of youth exchanges, technical cooperation on climate change, and a new joint research on magnetic fusion energy.

Fukuda's visit, three months after he took office, is the first to China by a Japanese prime minister since Abe visited Beijing last October.

It is Fukuda's third overseas trip during his premiership after his visit to the United States and Singapore.

Later in the afternoon, Chinese President Hu Jintao and top legislator Wu Bangguo will meet with Fukuda after Fukuda delivered a speech at the elite Peking University.

Fukuda will also visit an economic development zone in Tianjin on Saturday and the hometown of Confucius in Qufu, Shandong Province, on Sunday before flying back to Japan.
