Facing the sustained cold political ties between China and Japan, Chinese scholars Friday urged the two countries to expand common interests and cooperation with concrete measures to secure “a relatively optimistic and stable” Sino-Japanese ties.
Jin Linbo, a researcher of the Asia-Pacific Office under the China Research Institute of International Studies, said despite the negative factors in Sino-Japanese relations, there still remain many positive factors.
Firstly the two governments have the desire to promote the stable growth of bilateral ties, Jin said.
Secondly, China and Japan have become increasingly dependent on each other in economy and trade and bilateral economic ties also go with the efforts in setting up an East Asia community, Jin said.
Thirdly, Jin said China and Japan still have great room to expand common interests and cooperation in the fields of security,energy, environmental protection as well as international and regional issues.
The forum, which was held by the school of international relations and East Asia research center of China’s Renmin University, attracted over 80 scholars from China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United States and Mongolia.
