国内英语资讯:China Focus: Chinese premiers trip to Indonesia, Japan to cement partnership, cooperation

China also hopes that the meeting would point out the direction for future trilateral cooperation, jointly push forward the negotiations on China-Japan-ROK Free Trade Agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, oppose trade protectionism and promote regional economic integration.

This is the first visit to Japan by a Chinese premier in eight years. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the signing of the China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship.

Kong said that under the joint efforts of both sides, China-Japan relations had shown improved momentum, and cooperation in various fields had steadily developed.

During his stay in Japan, Li will hold talks with Abe and meet with Japan's Emperor Akihito. He will also meet with leaders of the Diet as well as heads of the ruling and opposition parties.

Li will also attend a reception commemorating the 40th anniversary of the signing of the China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship and deliver a speech.

The trip will also take Li to Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.

"During his visit, Li will have in-depth exchange of views with Japanese leaders on increasing political and strategic mutual trust, enhancing pragmatic cooperation and communication, properly managing differences and bringing bilateral ties back to the track of normal development," Kong said. "The two countries' leaders are expected to reach consensus on strengthening cooperation in third-party markets as well as cooperation in culture, media, youth and local exchanges."
