According to the website of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, on April 28, Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, met with the delegation of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentary League led by Hiroshi Mori, Chairman of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentary League and General Secretary of the Liberal Democratic Party, in Beijing.
Liu Jianchao said that last November, President Xi Jinping met with former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Lima and agreed to comprehensively promote the strategic mutually beneficial relationship between China and Japan, providing strategic guidance for the future development of bilateral relations. Both sides should jointly implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of both countries, strengthen exchanges and dialogue, and achieve generational friendship between the two countries. Since the end of World War II, Asian countries have adhered to seeking common ground while reserving differences, handling disputes according to the "Asian way", maintaining overall peace in Asia, and creating a favorable environment for the development of all countries. In the current international situation where changes and chaos are intertwined, both sides should advocate unity and cooperation, seek development opportunities, and jointly address common challenges. Unilateralism and protectionism harm the common interests of all countries. As major economies in the world, both sides should uphold openness and inclusiveness, and jointly maintain the global free trade system.
Liu Jianchao said that the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentary League is an important cross-party friendly group in Japan that persists in promoting the correct understanding of China among all sectors of Japanese society and making contributions to the development of Sino-Japanese relations. It is hoped that the Japan-China Parliamentary League will carry forward its fine traditions and make efforts to enhance mutual understanding and trust between the two countries and maintain peace and development in Asia and the world. The Communist Party of China is willing to strengthen political dialogue with various Japanese political parties and communication and exchanges with all sectors through channels such as the Sino-Japanese ruling party exchange mechanism.
Mori Hiroshi said that former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and President Xi Jinping agreed to comprehensively promote the strategic mutually beneficial relationship between Japan and China and build a constructive and stable Japan-China relationship. Both sides should strengthen communication and dialogue at all levels according to the direction set by the leaders of both countries for the future development of bilateral relations, and consolidate the momentum of improvement in bilateral relations. As neighbors, Japan and China have a long history of interaction, and it is natural for there to be some problems between them. The key is to manage differences through dialogue, promote early concrete results in bilateral cooperation. Under the current circumstances, it is very important for Japan and China to strengthen exchanges and build strong and solid dialogue channels. The Japan-China Friendship Parliamentary League is willing to actively promote exchanges between the youth, women, and local governments of the two countries to enhance mutual understanding and trust. The Japanese side attaches great importance to the current world economic situation and will continue to work towards maintaining a free and open international trading system based on rules.
