The ruling parties of China and Japan have agreed to support and maintain close dialogue and communication regardless of the situation facing China-Japan relations.

According to China’s Xinhua News Agency on Wednesday, this consensus was reached between the Communist Party of China, the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, and Japan’s Komeito Party during the ninth meeting of the exchange mechanism between the two ruling parties in Beijing. The ruling parties of both countries acknowledged that since their inaugural meeting in 2006, this mechanism has played an important role in guiding the development of China-Japan relations. They also welcomed the resumption of talks after a break of six years and three months.

The two sides focused on the mission and responsibilities of the ruling parties, engaging in frank discussions about the significant responsibilities and roles both countries should play in maintaining the international order based on international law amid global upheaval. The ruling parties also held extensive discussions on enhancing mutual trust, expanding cultural exchanges, and deepening mutually beneficial cooperation.

They agreed to adhere to the principles outlined in the four political documents between China and Japan, based on the guidance of the leaders, and pledged to make joint efforts to comprehensively enhance the mutually beneficial strategic relationship between China and Japan. Their goal is to build a constructive and stable relationship that meets the needs of the new era. They agreed that, regardless of the situation facing China-Japan relations, they would maintain close dialogue and communication, strengthen mutual understanding and trust, and facilitate exchanges between political parties, veteran politicians, and young politicians. This would lay a solid political foundation for improving and developing bilateral relations.

The two ruling parties exchanged views on issues including the disposal of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean, as well as the import of Japanese seafood products. They agreed to enhance the implementation of agreements reached by the governments of both countries, accelerate communication and consultation, and address each other’s concerns in an appropriate manner.
