On April 30, Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with visiting Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.

Wang Yi said that Japan is a close neighbor of China, with whom we want to develop a sound and steady relationship of good-neighborliness and friendliness. It should be a relationship based on facing up to the history, living up to the commitment, and on cooperation rather than confrontation. We hope that your visit will play a positive role in the effective improvement of China-Japan relations.
