BEIJING, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday called on China and Japan to jointly develop strategic relations based on mutual benefit and build constructive and stable bilateral relations befitting the new era.
During a telephone conversation with Toshimitsu Motegi, Wang Yi congratulated his Japanese counterpart on his re-assumption of office as Foreign Minister.
China and Japan are important neighbors, Wang Yi said, noting that Beijing maintains consistency and stability in its policy toward Japan and is willing to cooperate with Tokyo to continue to abide by the principles and follow the direction set out in the four political documents between the two countries.
China has noted the positive signals coming from the new Japanese cabinet, the Chinese Foreign Minister noted, adding that high-level exchanges are of great importance for the development of bilateral relations.
Wang Yi expressed hope that the new Japanese cabinet would get cooperation with China off to a good start.
Noting that the history and Taiwan issues concern the foundations of bilateral relations and the fundamental principle of goodwill between the two countries, Wang also expressed the hope that Japan will join hands with China to uphold the political foundation and promote the continuous improvement and development of bilateral relations in the right direction.
T. Motegi, in turn, said that as the international landscape undergoes profound changes, Japan and China are taking on increasingly significant international responsibilities.
China is an important neighbor of Japan, and Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi attaches great importance to Japan-China relations, he noted.
The Japanese side has never intended to separate or sever supply chains with the Chinese side, and hopes that both sides will strengthen exchanges at all levels, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, properly resolve differences, and fully develop constructive and stable strategic relations of mutual benefit between the two countries, Motegi said.
The ministers also exchanged views on some specific issues in bilateral relations. –0–
