Japan to rebuild links with China

JAPANESE Prime Minister Naoto Kan says Japan is ready to reconstruct relations with China in cultural, economic, political and other areas, the Jiji Press reported yesterday.

"This year marks the 100th anniversary of China's Revolution of 1911, and next year will be the 40th anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations," said Kan at the first session of the "China-issue" advisory committee, organized by the Japanese government and attended by people from economic, cultural and academic circles.

"On this special occasion," Kan said, "Japan is ready to rebuild relations with China in various areas such as culture, economics and politics."

According to Japanese media reports, participants at the meeting put forward suggestions such as "China is a promising market in the economic area, and ties with China are thus of great importance" and "people-to-people exchanges need to be promoted in areas of culture, sports and arts."

The committee is due to submit its final advisory report to the Japanese government in mid-April.
