Correct attitude toward history key to ties

China and Japan should embrace the wisdom of unity in diversity, adopt a rational perspective on each other's development, and explore avenues for future cooperation, said experts at a forum on Sino-Japanese friendship and people-to-people exchanges. Qin Liang, CFHRD's deputy secretary-general, emphasized that a correct attitude toward history has always been an important political foundation for the development of China-Japan relations. Urging the two countries to pursue mutual cooperation, he noted that China and Japan are important neighbors with extensive common interests and shared concerns. Yuji Miyamoto, president of the Japan-China Friendship Center, said there is no alternative to peace, friendship, and cooperation for China and Japan, as these are in the fundamental interests of both nations. Tomoki Kamo, dean of the Faculty of Policy Management at Keio University, noted that since the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China in 1972, the two countries have confirmed their shared interests and values, and established a stable bilateral relationship.
