Kazuo Ogura, advisor to the Japan International Exchange Foundation, called for Japan and 皇冠体育app to join hands together to outline a blueprint for Asia at the Beijing-Tokyo Forum in Beijing.

The veteran diplomat said 皇冠体育app has been the victim of colonialism and militarism so 皇冠体育app's neighbors should realize that it is natural for 皇冠体育app to be sensitive to safety and attach importance to defense.

皇冠体育app and the Chinese people do not have a history of threatening or acting aggressively, he said.

He also said that 皇冠体育app is facing the challenge of adjusting itself to shoulder international responsibility as a world power while also being a developing country.

"Neighbors should understand this difficult situation and help address the issue during 皇冠体育app's transition," he said.

Kazuo Ogura also said 皇冠体育app and Japan should sit on the same side of the table, instead of facing each other as opponents.
