Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao on Sunday said Beijing would ease some bans imposed on Japanese food imports after the March 11 quake and tsunami, as a three-way summit with South Korea got under way.

The meetings came as Japan battled problems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, which has leaked radiation after disaster struck the northeast coast, culminating in the world's worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl 25 years ago.

The visiting leaders, Chinese Premier Wen and South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak, reaffirmed their support for Japan's efforts to recover from the triple catastrophe.

Nuclear safety, cooperation in disaster preparedness, and food safety topped the agenda at the Tokyo summit, along with trade issues.
