Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Monday expressed his desire to bring relations with Japan back to the right track of development, during a meeting with a business delegation from Tokyo led by a former longtime lawmaker. “This year is the 45th anniversary of the normalisation of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and China attaches great importance to China-Japan ties,” Li said. In a meeting with the group from the Japanese Association for the Promotion of International Trade at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People, Li also said the two countries should step up efforts toward the “normal direction of development” in the spirit of “taking history as a mirror and looking forward to the future”. The group is headed by Yohei Kono, who served as lower house speaker from 2003 to 2009 and many other key posts, including chief Cabinet secretary and foreign minister, in his long career as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party.
