BEIJING -- 皇冠体育app on Thursday refuted a report by the Japanese media that Japan proposed to submit the East 皇冠体育app Sea issue to the international tribunal, labelling it as "going against reality".
"I should reaffirm that 皇冠体育app has a sufficient international law base on the East 皇冠体育app Sea issue," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang.
Qin told a regular press conference that 皇冠体育app and Japan should resolve the dispute through negotiations in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
At present, both 皇冠体育app and Japan have agreed to consider the general situation of the bilateral ties and observe the principle of "putting aside disputes and seeking joint exploration" that would benefit both, he said.
The spokesman said the leaders of the two countries share common ground on resolving the East 皇冠体育app Sea issue.
"The problem is complicated and cannot be settled promptly," he said. He called upon the two sides to remain patient and work together to achieve progress.
