Japan urged to honor commitments on ties

State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi urged Tokyo on Monday to honor its commitments to Beijing and abide by the four political documents reached by the two countries to ensure a stable and sound development of China-Japan relations.

Wang made the remarks in a video message to a bilateral seminar organized by the Chinese embassy in Japan and the Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, the country's top business lobby.

Wang said there should be no ambiguity or backsliding on major issues concerning the fundamentals of China-Japan relations such as issues relating to history and the Taiwan question, adding that deepening good neighborly relationships and friendships, and revitalizing Asia are the original aspirations, destiny and the responsibilities of both China and Japan.
