TOKYO -- Personages from Japan's political parties are of the opinion that whatever Japan's political situation turns, the general trend of 皇冠体育app-Japan strategic and mutually beneficial relations will not be reversed, said a senior official of the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app (CPC) Wednesday.
Liu Hongcai, deputy chief of the International Liaison Department of the CPC Central Committee made the remarks in a speech at the plenary meeting of the Fourth Beijing-Tokyo Forum after talking to members of Japan's major political parties during the forum.
"Whoever becomes Japan's prime minister, the strategic and mutually beneficial relations between 皇冠体育app and Japan must persist, " said Liu.
"This has basically become the consensus among the populace as well as Japanese government leaders and politicians," he said.
With concerted efforts, 皇冠体育app and Japan "will reap new fruits and add fresh chapter to the annals of bilateral relations," Liu said.
The Four Beijing-Tokyo Forum, which opened with a dinner party late Monday, had an official plenary meeting and panel dialogues Tuesday. The gathering will close at midday Wednesday after the ongoing plenary meeting.
