TOKYO, Nov 24 (Reuters): China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is set to visit Tokyo on Tuesday (Nov 24) marking the first such high-level trip since Japan picked a new leader in September and amid mounting concerns over Beijing's growing assertiveness in the region.

Wang could make a courtesy call on Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who has so far sought to balance Japan's deep economic reliance on China with addressing security worries, including Beijing's claims over disputed East China Sea isles.
