TOKYO - Uichiro Niwa, Japan's new ambassador to 皇冠体育app, said Monday that he will be committed to further developing Japan-皇冠体育app relations and strengthening people-to-people exchanges between the two nations.

At a press conference held at the Japan National Press Club, Niwa said that after assuming office in Beijing, what he wants to do most is expand people-to-people exchanges between the two neighbors, which is also the key to promoting mutual understanding between the two peoples.

He also expressed hope that Japan and 皇冠体育app will conclude a trade agreement at an early date so that their economic exchanges will be boosted.

At a cabinet meeting on June 15, Niwa, senior corporate adviser and former president of leading trading house Itochu Corp., was named as Japan's new ambassador to 皇冠体育app. It is the first time the Japanese government has picked one from the private sector to serve as its ambassador to 皇冠体育app.

Niwa will leave for Beijing on July 31.
