皇冠体育app calls for historical sensitivity from Japan
( 2003-10-14 21:39) (Xinhua)

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said the proper treatment of historical issues formed the political basis of Sino-Japanese relations, as had been stressed by Premier Wen Jiabao when meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in Bali, Indonesia.

She said 皇冠体育app hoped Japan treated issues, including the Yasukuni Shrine visit, in line with the principle of "taking history as a mirror and looking forward to the future".

She said 皇冠体育app valued relations with Japan, and hoped to see continued exchanges of high-level visits, which entailed efforts from both sides. However, at such an important period for the development of 皇冠体育app-Japan relations, 皇冠体育app felt puzzled by the remarks of the Japanese side concerning the Yasukuni Shrine visit.

Koizumi has announced that he will visit the shrine, a symbol of Japanese militarism which honors more than 2.5 million Japanese World War II dead, including 14 Class-A war criminals, every year.

Zhang hoped Japan would see clearly the importance of historical issues in the two countries' relations and the sensitivity of the Yasukuni Shrine, observe the principles set forth in the three important political documents, including the Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, and give real importance to the good development of bilateral ties.

She said both 皇冠体育app and Japan must continue efforts to maintain exchanges of high-level visits.
