Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, March 22 (Reporter Chen Ze'an and Li Ziyue) On March 22, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the 11th China-Japan-South Korea Foreign Ministers Meeting with Japanese Foreign Minister Iwaya and South Korea's Foreign Minister Zhao Duilie in Tokyo.

Wang Yi said that China-Japan-South Korea cooperation is one of the cooperation structures with the deepest foundation, the highest degree of institutionalization and the greatest development potential in East Asia. The three-country cooperation has achieved positive results over the past 20 years, which not only benefited the people of the three countries and their respective developments, but also promoted the process of regional stability and economic integration. With the joint efforts of the three parties, the cooperation in the "six key areas" determined by the 9th China-Japan-South Korea Leaders' Meeting has taken new steps. Facts have proved that the more solid China-Japan-South Korea cooperation, the stronger the ability of the three countries to resist risks, the stronger the foundation for empowering development, and the more effective it will be to promote people to get to know each other and get on blind dates.

Wang Yi said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Only by sincere reflection on history can we truly create the future. The three countries should review the consensus of "facing history and facing the future", adhere to the original intention of cooperation, and promote China-Japan-South Korea cooperation to play the role of "1+1+1>3" to benefit the Three Kingdoms, the region and the world.

Wang Yi emphasized that having wind and rain is the norm, and being unhindered by wind and rain is the mentality. To achieve steady and long-term cooperation between the three countries, it must promote each other and have a virtuous cycle with bilateral relations. In particular, we must respect each other's core interests, manage contradictions and differences, and on the basis of maintaining good and stable bilateral relations, we must constantly accumulate consensus, cultivate momentum, deepen cooperation, and improve our level. China is willing to work with Japan and South Korea to promote the quality and upgrading of China-Japan-South Korea cooperation under the new situation, and be more mature, more stable and more resilient.

First, deepen economic and trade cooperation and strengthen the "ballast stone". Restart the negotiations on the China-Japan-South Korea Free Trade Agreement as soon as possible and strive to reach them as soon as possible, expand mutual trade and investment, establish a dialogue mechanism for export control between China-Japan-South Korea, and maintain the stability and smooth production and supply chain.

The second is to promote scientific and technological innovation and stimulate new momentum. Based on the principle of open cooperation, share innovation opportunities and enable new quality productivity to better empower the high-quality development of the three countries. Establish a dialogue mechanism for China-Japan-South Korea digital economy cooperation. We welcome Japan and South Korea to actively participate in the China-Japan-South Korea Innovation Cooperation Center that China is preparing to build.

The third is to expand cultural exchanges and build a foundation for public opinion. We will strive to achieve the goal of 40 million visits by 2030, hold the China-Japan-Korea Cultural Exchange Year from 2025 to 2026, continue to build the "East Asian Cultural Capital" and "Asian Campus" brands, promote the excellent traditional culture of East Asia, and promote people to get to know each other and get to know each other.

Fourth, respond to common challenges and help sustainable development. Deepen cooperation in healthy aging, medical and health care, new energy, green development, and ecological and environmental protection. Strengthen cooperation in disaster management, policing and counter-terrorism, and jointly respond to non-traditional security challenges.

Wang Yi said that at present, the century-long changes have accelerated, the world's economic growth has been weak, geopolitical conflicts have intensified, and the opening index has been continuously declining. As important countries in the Asia-Pacific and important economies in the world, China, Japan and South Korea should adhere to the general direction of an open economy, jointly hold high the banner of free trade, firmly safeguard the multilateral trading system based on rules, create an open, inclusive and non-discriminatory international economic environment, and promote inclusive and inclusive economic globalization. We must actively drive regional cooperation and development, jointly support the construction of the ASEAN community, create more "China-Japan-South Korea+" cooperation projects, and inject strong impetus into the development of East Asia's cooperation with the vitality of tripartite cooperation. We must practice the new security concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable, and jointly maintain regional peace and world tranquility. We must carry forward the Eastern tradition of keeping promises, adhere to independence, unity and self-improvement, and take the destiny of Asia into our own hands.

The foreign ministers of the three countries exchanged in-depth views on China-Japan-South Korea cooperation and regional and international issues, and prepared for the 10th China-Japan-South Korea Leaders' Meeting. They believed that the momentum of China-Japan-South Korea cooperation should be jointly maintained, and the "Six Key Areas" should be comprehensively and balancedly promoted pragmatic cooperation in the "Six Key Areas" on the basis of maintaining continuity, explore new areas of cooperation and expand future-oriented cooperation. We must continue to deepen cultural exchanges, enhance mutual understanding and mutual trust, continuously enrich and enrich the connotation of practical cooperation in various fields of the Three Kingdoms, and promote more new achievements that benefit the people and regions of the Three Kingdoms.
