BEIJING, Nov. 20-- China and Japan should expand bilateral economic ties as they have broad prospects for cooperation, a senior trade official said Monday. The Belt and Road can become a new platform for mutual benefit, said Jiang Zengwei, head of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, at a Sino-Japanese entrepreneurs' dialogue held in Beijing. China's efforts to build a higher-level open economy with measures to liberalize trade and investment will provide opportunities for countries including Japan, Jiang said. "The Chinese and Japanese economies are highly complementary and have broad prospects for cooperation," he told the entrepreneurs. |
