Wang underscored that historical issues and the Taiwan question bear on the foundation of China-Japan ties and the basic trust between the two countries, saying that he hopes Tokyo will work with Beijing to uphold the political foundation of bilateral relations and facilitate their improvement and development.
Motegi said that Japan and China are shouldering increasingly significant international responsibilities in the wake of profound changes in the global landscape.

Motegi expressed the hope that both sides would enhance exchanges at all levels, boost mutually beneficial cooperation, properly manage differences and fully advance a constructive and stable strategic relationship of mutual benefit.
