Chinese President Jiang Zemin will arrive in Tokyo on Sept. 6 as a state guest, becoming the first Chinese head of state to visit Japan in the long history of bilateral relations, government sources said Wednesday.

South Korean President Kim Dae June -- who took office in February following a victory in last December's hotly contested presidential election -- will also visit Japan as a state guest from Oct. 7 to 10, the sources said.
