At the invitation of CPAFFC, the delegation of Asian-African Issues Research Association of Japanese Liberal Democratic Party headed by President Takeshi Noda, visited Beijing from June 28 to June 30. On June 29, Mr. Yu Zhengsheng, Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, met with the delegation.

Chairman Yu Zhengsheng said, the Chinese government has a determined policy in developing friendship with Japan. In order to realize the stable development of China-Japan relations, the two countries should abide by the following principals: first, to properly deal with the issues of history, which was the foundation of China-Japan relations; second, to enhance people-to-people friendship and hold more friendly exchanges activities; third, to follow the China-Japan Four Political Documents, enhancing mutual trust and cooperating with each other but not posing a threat to each other; fourth, to properly handle with disputes, avoiding misunderstanding and misjudgment. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression & the World Anti-Fascist War. Yu expected Japan to seize the opportunity to properly deal with the relevant problems and make efforts to improve the relationship with China.

President Takeshi Noda said, the Four Political Documents are the foundation of China-Japan relations. Japan should take the chance of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two to reflect on the past and look into the future. He also expected the both sides to make efforts to improve and develop China-Japan relations
