Japan-China Society, a friendship organization between the two countries,
submitted a five-point proposal on bilateral ties to the Japanese prime
minister, the organization told Xinhua today.
Takeshi Noda, president of the
Japan-China Society, presented the proposal during a meeting with Prime Minister
Yasuo Fukuda yesterday, two days before Fukuda's four-day official visit to
China.
The organization suggested that a fourth document on Japan-China
relations should be brought into being, covering areas such as the establishment
of strategic, mutually beneficial ties, Noda said.
Japan and China have
signed three key political documents on ties so far, including the Sino-Japanese
Joint Statement, the Peace and Friendship Treaty and the Sino-Japanese Joint
Declaration.
The proposal also suggested that the Taiwan issue be properly
handled on the basis of the Japan-China Joint Statement and cooperation with
China be expanded in areas of environmental protection and energy saving.
The
organization also said that youth exchanges between the two countries should be
further promoted next year and reciprocal cultural centers in Tokyo and Beijing
should be set up at an early date.
Fukuda told Noda that he would consider
these suggestions and seek to promote bilateral friendship while meeting with
Chinese leaders.
