Visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Thursday advocated five principles for
guiding the future development of China-Japan relations.
China's aim is to push forward China-Japan relations to a historic stage and
realize the goal of "peaceful coexistence, friendship for generations,
mutually-beneficial cooperation and common development," Wen said in his speech
delivered in the Japanese parliament.
In order to achieve the goal, the Chinese premier said that the following
principles should be practised.
-- To enhance mutual trust and honor commitments.
The three political documents including the Sino-Japanese
Joint Statement are the bedrock for China-Japan relations. Under whatever
circumstances, as long as both sides adhere to the principles prescribed in the
documents, bilateral ties will be able to develop smoothly.
