Amid complex global challenges, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called upon Japan to enhance mutual trust and cooperation with China to contribute to world stability and certainty.
Speaking at a recent international forum, Wang emphasized the importance of the two countries, both significant players on the world stage, working together for the betterment of Asia and the global community. “As close neighbors, sincerity and harmony are essential in our relations,” Wang stated.
He highlighted the progress made in improving bilateral relations and stressed the need for Japan to adhere to the principles outlined in the four political documents between the two countries, including the China-Japan Joint Statement. Wang urged Japan to uphold political and legal commitments on historical issues and the Taiwan question, reinforcing the foundation for stronger ties.
This call for cooperation comes at a time when global issues like climate change, economic instability, and health crises require unified efforts. Stronger ties between China and Japan could lead to collaborative solutions that benefit not just Asia but the entire world, including countries in the Global South.

For young people around the world, enhanced cooperation between these two major economies could mean more opportunities, innovation, and a more stable future.
