Xu said that this year is the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between China and Japan as well as the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. These "two anniversaries" are rich in connotation and are closely interrelated, providing much inspiration for the two countries to adopt a good approach in fostering the bilateral relationship.
While stressing that peace, friendship and cooperation were three essential points in keeping the bilateral relationship on the right track, Xu explained in more detail that these three elements conformed to the common aspirations of the two peoples, served the two sides' common interests, and kept abreast of the trend of the times.
Xu suggested that the two countries draw lessons from history, keep bilateral relations on the right track, seek mutual trust and common ground, deepen practical cooperation, follow the principle of mutual benefit, and enhance mutual friendship between the two peoples.
