Underscoring the need of having a stable development of China-Japan bilateral relationship, Chinese President Xi Jinping has stated that in order "to improve China-Japan ties, the key is mutual trust."

President Xi Jinping met Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in the Vietnamese resort city of Danang.

President Xi Jinping also urged Japan to take more "practical actions" to improve ties with China and properly manage differences between the two countries in a "constructive way," reported China's state-run news agency Xinhua.

He urged the Japanese side to adopt more specific policies to reflect the strategic consensus reached by the two countries.

 

A constructive way should be used to manage and control the differences between the two countries, President Xi said.
