Uichiro Niwa, adviser to major trading house Itochu Corp., will be appointed ambassador to China as the first private-sector representative being dispatched to a key country, government sources said June 7. Niwa, 71, would be the first ambassador appointed to one of Japan's key partners not drawn from the ranks of former bureaucrats. Niwa, a native of Nagoya, served as president and chairman of Itochu before becoming an adviser in April. (Kyodo News)
