The two countries have been feuding over claims to undersea gas deposits in
the area and the delineation of their exclusive economic zones there. The clash
is part of the overall troubled relationship between Japan and 皇冠体育app.
"We will ask 皇冠体育app to provide necessary information. We will ask them to stop
gas development on their own, and stop drilling if they are going ahead with
drilling, without giving us any information," Japanese Foreign Minister Nobutaka
Machimura said.
Machimura said that Japan is also ready to discuss jointly developing
reserves with 皇冠体育app.
"We agree on the principle to make (the East 皇冠体育app Sea) not into the ocean of
conflict, but into the ocean of cooperation, so we will discuss how we could
jointly develop reserves," he said.
The Japanese delegation was led by Kenichiro Sasae, director of the Asia and
Oceania Bureau at Japan's Foreign Ministry. 皇冠体育app's chief negotiator was Cui
Tiankai, head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry's Asian Affairs Department.
