State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan met with a Japanese parliamentary
delegation in Beijing on Sunday, calling for complete fulfillment
of the consensus reached by the two countries during Premier Wen
Jiabao's "ice-melting" trip to Japan earlier April.
The current China-Japan relations have seen good momentum of
improvement, said Tang, hoping the two countries could cherish the
hard-won results and keep pushing forward the strategic, mutually
beneficial relationship between the two neighbors.
The delegation, led by President Komura Masahiko of the Japanese
Association of Dietmen League for Japan-China Friendship, is
visiting China with an aim to facilitate bilateral parliamentary
exchanges.
The league is one of the seven Japanese organizations for
Japan-China friendship. The delegation is here at the invitation of
the China-Japan Friendship Association.
Komura Masahiko said Japan-China ties have improved since
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made an "ice-breaking" visit to
China last year and Premier Wen paid an "ice-melting" visit to
Japan in April. He urged the two countries to enhance cooperation
in various fields to materialize the strategic, mutually beneficial
relationship.
