Sino-Japanese Relations Back on Track: Premier Zhu

While Sino-Japanese relations experienced setbacks earlier this year, some high-level meetings between leaders of the two countries have helped put bilateral ties back on track, Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji said Friday in Beijing.

Zhu made the remarks when meeting with a delegation of Japanese young Diet members in Beijing.

Next year will mark the 30th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and China expects to see good development momentum of bilateral relations, he said.

He expected that the young politicians, as key people promoting Sino-Japanese friendship, will be influential in spreading the friendship between the two countries from generation to generation.

Aizawa Ichiro, head of the delegation, said that China is now the focus of the world, and the young generation of Japanese politicians will do more for the development of bilateral ties.
