| Chinese Premier1 Wen Jiabao met with his Japanese counterpart, Yasuo Fukuda, Tuesday on the sidelines of a series of ASEAN meetings in Singapore. |
| SINGAPORE, Nov. 20 - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met with his Japanese counterpart, Yasuo Fukuda, Tuesday on the sidelines of a series of ASEAN meetings here.
Fukuda, a well-known Japanese politician, telephoned the Chinese government only four days after taking office, which indicates that he attaches great importance to relations between the two countries, Wen said.
The Chinese people are familiar with the Japanese prime minister, whose late father, former Prime Minister Takeo Fukuda, signed a treaty of friendly cooperation with China 30 years ago, he added.
Wen said that now, China-Japan relations are at a historical stage of significant development and an important turning point.
"I hope we will make concerted efforts and grasp this opportunity to push forward the continuous development of bilateral2 ties," he said.
For his part, Fukuda said he once had a meeting with Wen four years ago.
He said the Chinese premier's speech at the Japanese parliament in April has left a deep impression on Japanese lawmakers and nationals.
It is Wen's first meeting with Fukuda since the Japanese prime minister took office in September.
In April, Wen paid a three-day official visit to Japan, during which he reached consensus3 with Japanese leaders on forging a strategic, mutually beneficial relationship.
The year 2007 marks the 35th anniversary of the normalization4 of diplomatic ties between China and Japan.
Japan is now China's third-largest trading partner, while China is Japan's second-largest trading partner.
The China-Japan trade volume reached 207.36 billion U.S. dollars in 2006, a 200-fold increase over the 1.1 billion dollars in 1972.
