East China Sea consultation "constructive": Chinese FM (Xinhua) Updated: 2006-03-07 19:53
The fourth round of East China Sea consultation which concluded here Tuesday
between Chinese and Japanese diplomatic officials was "pragmatic and
constructive,"Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said.
"China and Japan have agreed to launch the next round of consultation as
early as possible," Li said at a press conference Tuesday held on the sideline
of the ongoing annual full session of the National People's Congress, China's
top legislature.
It is a fact that China and Japan have different views on the East China Sea
issue, but the two sides expect to address the difference through negotiation
and cooperation.
