Adjust font size:

Visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao delivered a speech in the Japanese Diet (parliament) on Thursday, the first by a Chinese leader in 22 years.

In his speech on Sino-Japanese friendship and cooperation, Premier Wen said his current visit to Japan is aimed at learning the latest developments of Japan and to push forward Sino-Japanese relations to a new historic stage and realizing the goal of "peaceful coexistence, friendship for generations, mutually-beneficial cooperation and common development".

"If Prime Minister (Shinzo) Abe's visit to China last October can be described as an ice breaker, then I hope my visit to Japan will be an ice thawer. I came to Japan for friendship and cooperation, " Wen told the Japanese lawmakers.

Wen said that the Chinese and Japanese leaders have reached consensus on forging strategically reciprocal relations between the two nations.
