[Global Times reporter Li Meng Global Times special correspondent in Japan Pan Xiaoduo Global Times special correspondent Strictly] On the 11th, the Osaka World Expo in Japan ushered in China’s National Pavilion Day. More than 400 people from the political circles, business circles, friendly groups, media and representatives of various national pavilions in China and Japan participated in the event. He Lifeng, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the event and delivered a speech.

He Lifeng said in his speech that the World Expo is an important platform to promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, promote social prosperity and progress, and enhance friendship among people of all countries. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the participation in the Osaka World Expo. When talking about Sino-Japanese relations, He Lifeng said that China is willing to work with Japan to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, work together to promote Sino-Japanese strategic and mutually beneficial relations, and build a constructive and stable Sino-Japanese relationship that meets the requirements of the new era.

According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" report on the 11th, at the China National Pavilion Day event, the Chinese side introduced the China Pavilion's theme of "jointly building a community of life for man and nature - a future society of green development", as well as information about exhibits such as images showing the traditional twenty-four solar terms, and also organized colorful cultural performances such as traditional musical instruments, singing and dancing.

"There were women in traditional costumes playing the erhu, as well as dances and performances themed on the crested ibis, which symbolizes Japan-China friendship." Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported. "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" mentioned that when the acrobatic performance with the theme of crested ibis was unveiled, the audience burst into warm applause. The Japanese Jiji News Agency noted that at the end of the performance, the Chinese singer sang the hit song "The Only Flower in the World" by the popular Japanese group SMAP, which made the audience excited.

The China Pavilion is one of the largest foreign self-built pavilions at this World Expo, covering an area of approximately 3,500 square meters. Wu Shengrong, director of the China Pavilion, said that since its opening on April 13, the China Pavilion has received nearly 800,000 tourists from all over the world.

Japanese dignitaries attending the China National Pavilion Day include Japanese Minister of Economy, w88 and Industry Yoshiharu Muto and Yu Moriyama, Chairman of the Japan-China Friendship Parliamentarians Alliance and Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party. According to Japanese media reports, Muto Yoshiharu said that Japan and China share the culture of Chinese characters. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the two sides gave each other support materials with poems and haiku. "This touched the hearts of many people in Japan and China." Yu Moriyama said: "(Japan and China) still face many common issues. Cooperating with each other in solving problems will bring a bright future to the world."

Wu Yingjie, a researcher at the Japan Studies Center of the w88 casino, told a reporter from the Global Times on the 11th that this year’s Osaka World Expo is an important opportunity to demonstrate the willingness of China and Japan to cooperate, and at the same time, as an international event, it provides a communication platform for Sino-Japanese economic cooperation.

He Lifeng also had friendly exchanges with Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party Secretary General Yu Moriyama and the Kansai Economic Group.

Wu Yingjie analyzed that recently, high-level visits between China and Japan have increased, personnel exchanges have gradually resumed, and the atmosphere of Sino-Japanese economic and w88 relations has improved, but at the same time they still face challenges. By using platforms such as the Osaka World Expo to explore cooperation opportunities, China and Japan can optimize the policy environment and enhance people-to-people mutual trust. The two countries will work together to create a good environment for the development of Sino-Japanese economic and w88 relations.
