TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said on Sunday that there was no plan for her talk by telephone with new Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, after a Japanese envoy had told Tsai that Suga might be open to it, prompting concern in Beijing.

Taiwan, claimed by China as its own territory, has close cultural and historic ties with Japan, though Japan, like most countries, recognises China's government in Beijing, not Taiwan's.

China's foreign ministry said late on Saturday that Japan had told them such a thing"will never happen", after Beijing sought clarification from Tokyo. A spokesman for Japan's foreign ministry echoed Tsai's comments, saying"there is no plan for a telephone call" between the two leaders.
