QINGDAO - No one-on-one meeting has been planned between Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy Commander Wu Shengli and Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) officials during the Western Pacific Naval Symposium (WPNS), a PLA Navy spokesman said Sunday.

"In view of the wrong words and deeds by the Japanese leaders ... which have substantially hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and undermined bilateral ties, aside from arranged, necessary meetings at the symposium, no one-on-one meeting between Admiral Wu Shengli and MSDF officials has been planned during this year's WPNS," the spokesman said.

The WPNS is scheduled to be held in eastern Chinese city of Qingdao from April 22 to 23.

Established in 1987, the WPNS is a forum for discussing maritime affairs in the region and the possibility of cooperation among its members.
