Beijing and Tokyo should work together to ensure the success of each nation, Wang Yi said in a recorded video speech for the Beijing-Tokyo Forum. The forum was inaugurated in 2005 as an annual event, and it has emerged as one of the largest high-end platforms between China and Japan. Wang called on the two sides to take these two anniversaries as great opportunities to revive the original aspirations of 50 years ago. China and Japan should deepen their bonds founded on shared interests by deepening economic and trade cooperation, a top Chinese official has said. They should also promote cultural exchanges and build on the good faith among the peoples of the two countries, Sun Yeli said. Mass media and think tanks are expected to step up their exchanges and collaboration to ensure that reasonable voices are better heard.
