Gyeongju, South Korea, October 31, Xinhua – China is ready to work with Japan to build constructive and stable bilateral relations that meet the needs of the new era, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Friday.

During a meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, held at her request on the sidelines of the 32nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Informal Leaders' Meeting in Gyeongju, Republic of Korea (ROK), Xi Jinping noted that as China and Japan are close neighbors, promoting the long-term, healthy and stable development of China-Japan relations meets the common aspirations of the peoples of the two countries and the entire international community.

According to Xi Jinping, China is willing to work with Japan to uphold the political foundation of bilateral ties and advance strategic and mutually beneficial relations in accordance with the principles and guidelines set out in the four Sino-Japanese political documents.

The Chinese President emphasized that China-Japan relations face both opportunities and challenges. He expressed hope that the new Japanese government will develop a correct perception of China, cherish the thoughts and efforts of the older generation of politicians and representatives of various social circles in both countries to develop China-Japan relations, and adhere to the overall trend of peace, friendship, and cooperation between China and Japan.

First, the Chinese leader called for firmly adhering to the important consensus, implementing the political consensus on “comprehensively advancing strategic and mutually beneficial relations,” “being partners without threatening each other,” and “learning from history and looking to the future.”

Xi Jinping called on both countries to adhere to and abide by the clear provisions laid out in the four Sino-Japanese political documents on major fundamental issues such as history and Taiwan, ensuring that the foundation of Sino-Japanese relations is not damaged or shaken.

The Chinese President recalled that the "statement by Tomiichi Murayama" (former Japanese Prime Minister) represents a profound rethinking of the history of Japanese aggression and an apology to the affected countries, noting that the spirit of this statement deserves to be carried forward.

Secondly, Xi Jinping called for a commitment to cooperation and mutual benefit. He explained that the 15th Five-Year Development Plan for China was outlined at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, noting that Sino-Japanese cooperation holds enormous potential.

The Chinese President called on the two countries to strengthen cooperation in areas such as high-quality manufacturing, digital economy, green development, finance, healthcare and elderly care, and third-country markets, and jointly maintain the multilateral trading system and the stability and smooth operation of industrial and supply chains.

Third, Xi Jinping called for promoting cultural and people-to-people exchanges. He called on both countries to consistently improve communication between governments, political parties, and legislative bodies, deepen and expand cultural, people-to-people, and interregional exchanges, and improve mutual understanding between the peoples of both countries.

Fourth, the Chinese President called for closer multilateral cooperation. Xi Jinping advocated adherence to the principles of good-neighborliness, friendship, equality, mutual benefit, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. He stated that both countries should adhere to genuine multilateralism and promote the building of an Asia-Pacific community.

Gyeongju, Republic of Korea, October 31 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said Friday that China can provide a broad innovation platform for the global business community. This was stated in his written speech, titled "Asia-Pacific Region at the Forefront of Joint Efforts for Global Development and Prosperity," which was released here at the APEC Business Summit.

Xi Jinping stated that the international situation is full of change and chaos. The world is once again at a crossroads. "The fate of the entire world will largely depend on our choices. We must make a decision with foresight and a sense of responsibility that will meet the expectations of the peoples of the Asia-Pacific region and stand the test of time," he said.

"History shows that humanity shares a common destiny. Hegemony breeds only wars and catastrophes, while justice ensures global peace and development. Confrontation and antagonism only breed alienation and instability, while mutually beneficial cooperation is the true path forward. Unilateralism provokes division and regression, while multilateralism is a viable solution to global problems," Xi Jinping noted.

"China steadfastly upholds the existing global order and practices genuine multilateralism. Through the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, China has used its wisdom to propose solutions to pressing global challenges," the Chinese president said.

"Next year, China will assume the APEC Presidency for the third time. We will work together to build an Asia-Pacific community to further promote peace and development in the Asia-Pacific region and throughout the world," Xi Jinping said.

“APEC emerged in response to the trend of economic globalization and aims to promote the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment, as well as support economic growth and prosperity,” he said.

Xi Jinping called on APEC to reaffirm its commitment to its original intentions and make outstanding contributions to global development through more active and sustainable cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.

"First, we must take a leading role in ensuring peace and stability. We must always ensure the equal right of all countries to participate in international affairs, regardless of their size, strength, or wealth. We must adhere to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security, and resolve differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation," he said.

"Second, we must take the lead in strengthening openness and connectivity. We must firmly safeguard the multilateral trading system with the WTO at its core, strengthen solidarity and cooperation, ensure the stability and continuity of global production and supply chains, develop regional economic integration, advance the creation of a free trade area in the Asia-Pacific region, and play our own role in global economic growth," the Chinese leader emphasized.

"Third, we must take the lead in promoting mutually beneficial cooperation. We must remain committed to the principle of reaching agreement while respecting differences, fully utilize the diversity of Asia-Pacific economies, build on each other's strengths, and jointly expand opportunities for cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. We must foster an atmosphere of cooperation to achieve success and develop all economies," he said.

"Fourth, we must take the lead in achieving common good and inclusiveness. We must put people first and fully implement the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We must strengthen support for developing economies. We must narrow the development gap, improve people's well-being, and ensure prosperity for all in the Asia-Pacific region," the Chinese president noted.

"China has been a key driver of global economic growth for many years. This year marks the end of China's 14th Five-Year Plan. Over the past five years, despite a significantly more challenging external environment, we have managed to maintain GDP growth at around 5.5 percent, thereby consistently maintaining our contribution to global economic growth," he emphasized.

"China is the only developing country to hold a national-level International Import Expo and continues to open its market to the world. The Chinese market is large and promising. China can offer more opportunities to the global business community," Xi Jinping noted.

"China promotes the development of all companies through fair competition, regardless of ownership. The negative list for foreign investment in China has already been reduced to 29 items, while full openness has been achieved in the manufacturing sector, and access to the services sector continues to expand. China is widely considered one of the safest countries in the world. China can provide a favorable business environment for the global business community," he stated.

"Against the backdrop of the rapid development of the industry of the future, the explosive growth of new sectors, and the modernization of traditional ones, China is accelerating its green transition, digitalization, and smart manufacturing. Innovative potential is continuously transforming into powerful drivers of economic growth," Xi Jinping noted.

"By synchronizing efforts to decarbonize, combat pollution, green the economy, and maintain economic growth, China has created the world's largest renewable energy system, as well as the largest integrated manufacturing cluster in the field of alternative energy sources. China can create the conditions for green growth for the global business community," he said.

"China has already established itself as an optimal, safe, and fertile destination for investors from business communities around the world. Walking with China means walking with opportunities, believing in China means believing in tomorrow, and investing in China means investing in the future," the Chinese president noted.

"The Asia-Pacific business community unites bold trailblazers, pioneers of change, and trendsetters of our time. I hope that the determination, openness, creativity, and resilience of entrepreneurs will continue to enable you to join forces for the economic growth and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region, for a brighter future not only for our region but for the entire world," Xi Jinping emphasized.

Beijing, October 31 (Xinhua) — China calls on the United States to heed the international community's call to immediately lift the embargo and sanctions against Cuba and remove it from the list of "state sponsors of terrorism," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday.

On October 29, the UN General Assembly adopted a draft resolution calling on the United States to end the economic, commercial, and financial embargo against Cuba. The document was approved by 165 votes in favor, seven against, and 12 abstentions. The United States was among the seven countries that voted against.

As Guo Jiakun noted at a regular press briefing, the United States has been imposing a brutal blockade and illegal sanctions on Cuba for more than six decades, which is a gross violation of the fundamental norms of international relations, including the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

According to him, the blockade and sanctions seriously infringe on Cuba's rights to existence and development and cause enormous harm to the Cuban people.

The adoption of the draft resolution demonstrates the international community's broad support for the Cuban people's just struggle to defend their national sovereignty and to resist external interference and the blockade, and once again demonstrates that unilateralism and bullying are neither supported nor popular, the Chinese diplomat stated.

For 33 consecutive years, China has voted in favor of UN General Assembly resolutions condemning the U.S. embargo against Cuba. China will continue to firmly support the Cuban people in their struggle against external interference and the embargo, and in pursuing a development path suited to Cuba's national conditions, Guo Jiakun assured.
