Long's remarks were echoed by Xu Dunxin, former Chinese ambassador to Japan,
who said he was cautiously optimistic about ties.
Xu called on the two sides to establish a mechanism to seek co-operation
instead of competition in the field of energy, urging the two to shelve disputes
over energy exploitation in the East China Sea.
Although it is 60 years since the end of World War II, political relations
are far from smooth, with exchanges between top leaders put on hold and China
protesting Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visits to the Yasukuni
Shrine, where 14 class-A war criminals are honoured.

his August 15 statement, in which he apologized for past aggression and said he
seeks to improve ties with neighbours, with actions.
In examining ties, the forum agreed the media in both countries are playing
an unprecedented role in shaping relations.
The Beijing-Tokyo Forum was jointly held by China Daily, School of
International Study of Peking University and Genron NPO of Japan,
Next year's forum is expected to be held in Tokyo.
