China, Japan can herald 'golden age for Asia'

“Japan and China have entered an era to discuss detailed cooperation,” after resumed talks on exploring resources in the East China Sea and a communication mechanism to deal with maritime emergencies between the two defense departments yielded positive results, Yoshito Sengoku, Japanese chief Cabinet secretary, said.

Cheng Yonghua, China's ambassador to Japan, said in his keynote speech that China and Japan should be able to complement each other in economic development. The two countries should deepen cooperation especially in the areas of energy efficiency, environmental protection, climate change, the green economy and disaster prevention and reduction, Cheng said.

“With continuous cooperation, we will surely establish the foundation of an East Asia community,” Sengoku said.

“Asia should have its own dream,” Zhao Qizheng, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said. “China, Japan and other Asian countries should design our own dream because it would be wrong to copy the American or European dream.”

“Japan and China should be able to take their relations beyond their borders,” former Japanese prime minister Yasuo Fukuda said at the forum's opening, saying that people should not focus too much on the comparison between the size of the two countries' GDPs.
