TOKYO, May 31-- Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe here on Wednesday, calling for taking the opportunities of anniversaries of bilateral ties and accumulating positive energy to enhance the Sino-Japanese relationship. Yang said that the improvement and development of Sino-Japanese relationship is important for the well-being of the people of both countries as well as peace, stability and prosperity of the region. He said that Chinese President Xi Jinping has recently given important guiding opinions on Sino-Japanese relationship when meeting with Toshihiro Nikai, secretary general of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, who was in Beijing for the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation recently. China attaches importance to its relationship with Japan, and is willing to, together with Japan, take the opportunities of the 45th anniversary of the normalization of China-Japan diplomatic ties this year and the 40th anniversary of the signing of China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship next year to develop bilateral relations, based on the four political documents and the four-point agreement between the two countries, upholding the spirit of taking history as a mirror while looking forward to the future, Yang said. He also urged the Japanese side to honor its words on improving bilateral relations and implement the consensus that the two countries are each other's cooperative partner rather than threats with specific policies and concrete actions. |
