　　Wu, chairman of the Standing² Committee of the National People's Congress, hailed the development of Sino-Japanese relations since they were normalized in 1972.

　　He particularly highlighted frequent high-level visits, deepening trade and economic cooperation, expanding people-to-people contact and sound communication and cooperation on regional and international affairs.

　　Such achievements benefited the two peoples and preserved Asian and world peace, stability and development, Wu said, urging the two sides to cherish the current sound bilateral ties.

　　The legislator called on the two states, under the current international and domestic situation, to further cooperate and avoid disturbances³ so as to constantly promote bilateral relations.

　　Wu suggested the two sides handle bilateral ties from a strategic and long-term perspective under the guidance of previous political agreements, deepen cooperation in such sectors⁴ as economy, trade, energy-saving, environmental protection, green economy and finance.

　　The two states should enhance communication on regional cooperation, he suggested, and jointly⁵ promote the integration⁶ of East Asia, consolidate⁷ friendship between the two peoples and properly handle sensitive issues.

　　Wu also called on the two parliaments to expand exchanges so as to contribute to the sound development of state-to-state relations.

　　Takahiro said Japan will work with China to further bilateral ties and Japan's parliament will strengthen exchange and cooperation with China's National People's Congress to push forward Japanese-Chinese ties.

　　On his first official visit to China after taking office, Takahiro thanked China for its aid following Japan's devastating⁸ earthquake last year.
