Koizumi writes to Jiang, Zhu
Japanese new cabinet's attitude toward developing relationship with China remains unchanged, Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has said.
On Wednesday, Koizumi addressed letters to Chinese President Jiang Zemin and Premier Zhu Rongji respectively, noting that the relationship with China is one of the most important bilateral relationships for Japan.
The Japanese Prime Minister added that on this point, the new cabinet will make no changes.
Koizumi said that although some worrisome problems have arisen from the bilateral relationship recently, Japan's stance shown in the Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship and the Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration, has undergone not even the slightest changes.
He said the new cabinet will further promote the mutual understanding and mutual trust between the two countries, and consolidate the friendly and cooperative partnership that is dedicated to peace and development.
