Hayashi Asana planned to have a chance meeting dialogue with China in South Africa, considering three plans!
According to Japanese media, in order to facilitate Prime Minister Hayashi Asana's chance meeting dialogue with China in South Africa, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered three possibilities.
The first one is the "pre-coordination type", which is to arrange time and place in advance, but China did not want to contact Japan, so there was no pre-coordination.
The second one is the "on-site coordination type", that is, the chance meeting dialogue conducted by temporary coordination on site during an international conference. This time, there were no signs of on-site coordination between the two sides.
The third one is the "surprise type", which is an accidental encounter where high-level officials meet without government coordination. It is said that this time, Prime Minister Hayashi Asana finally chose the "surprise type".
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' plan: "For example, when going to the venue, or in the lounge before the meeting starts, Prime Minister Hayashi Asana would actively greet the Chinese side and have a standing conversation."
The judgment of whether to conduct a "surprise" event for standing conversations is personally decided by Prime Minister Hayashi Asana. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "We really don't know if it can be achieved. Prime Minister Hayashi believes whether it is feasible and whether to conduct a surprise depends on her decision."
During the meeting, Hayashi Asana had an opportunity to approach the Chinese side within about two meters, which is the most likely chance so far, but Hayashi Asana predicted that she could only greet each other barely, and there might be an awkward situation, so she gave up.
