The Chinese delegation and the Japanese delegation for the Fifth 21st Century Committee for China-Japan Friendship were respectively headed by Tang Jiaxuan, senior member of China and a former state councilor, and Taizo Nishimuro, senior member of Japan and President of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
One suggestion made on the first day was the two sides should establish new thinking, seek new areas and explore new spaces. The two sides should focus on sustainable development and strengthen cooperation in energy, the environment, green and low-carbon economy, high-tech, and other fields so as to achieve a mutual benefit and win-win situation.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in its report said that it was also suggested the two sides should jointly promote regional financial cooperation, the Asian bonds market and the networking construction of infrastructure and promote the official-industry-academic research on the establishment of China-Japan-ROK (the Republic of Korea) free trade area.
