Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Japanese Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya on Thursday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, urging the Japanese side to learn lessons from history and chart a path toward peaceful development.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted this milestone as an important opportunity for Japan to confront its past and envision a collaborative future.
As neighbors with deep economic and cultural ties, China and Japan share interests that extend far beyond bilateral relations. Observers say that a commitment to historical reflection and peaceful cooperation could unlock new avenues for innovation, trade and regional stability.
