Wen said China-Japan ties maintain sound in general. The two countries should proceed from the long-term perspective of bilateral ties, increase political mutual trust, deepen mutual understanding between the two peoples and safeguard the general interests of Sino-Japanese strategic reciprocal relations. He said the global financial crisis is not just a challenge for Asia, but also an important opportunity for speeding up regional cooperation. He also called on the two countries to proceed from the overall interests of Asia and the long-term development of bilateral ties to enhance coordination and all-around cooperation, so as to jointly push forward regional economic and financial cooperation and make greater contribution to the revitalization of Asia and the construction of East Asia community. To continuously enhance the friendship between the two peoples is of great importance to the long-term development of bilateral ties, said Fukuda, adding that he would spare no effort to promote friendly cooperation between the two nations in the future. Fukuda also said China plays a key role in withstanding the global financial crisis. Bush and Fukuda were here to attend the 2009 annual meeting of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) from April 17 to 19.
