Interview: Looking forward to Japan and China joining hands to become the backbone of building a community with a shared future for mankind -- An interview with former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda

2022-11-28

In order to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda published a new book, Yasuo Fukuda's Anthology - Pursuing World Peace, in September this year and will launch a Chinese version. Fukuda said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency that a community with a shared future for mankind is the key word of this book, and he expects Japan and China to work together to become the backbone of building a community with a shared future for mankind. This anthology is a compilation of Fukuda's speeches over the years. It records and reflects Fukuda's long-term thinking on topics such as Japan China relations, two countries and Asia, and two countries and the world. It points out that we should address global challenges by building a community with a shared future for mankind. Fukuda said that he fully supports the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by China. If only their own development is good, but the development of neighboring countries is not good, this imbalance will lead to disputes, and then turn against themselves. Only when world peace is maintained can a country develop smoothly in a safe and stable environment. Fukuda said that maintaining a peaceful and stable relationship between Japan and China is not only very important for the Asian region, but also has a good impact on Europe, the Middle East and other global regions. "Japan and China should join hands to become the backbone of building a community with a shared future for mankind." In 1978, Takeo Fukuda, the father of Yasuo Fukuda, signed a peace and friendship treaty with China during his tenure as Prime Minister. Next year will usher in the 45th anniversary of the conclusion of the peace and friendship treaty between the two countries. How to continue to build a healthy and stable bilateral relationship is a long-term issue for Yasuo Fukuda. Fukuda said that only through mutual understanding can the two countries create mutual trust. In line with the principle of "seeking common ground while reserving differences", we should constantly think about how to achieve the goal of peace and stability in bilateral relations. Fukuda believes that to deepen mutual understanding between the people of Japan and China, cooperation in the political and economic fields is important, and it is also important to strengthen cultural exchanges. Fukuda himself took the lead in establishing the "Asian Community Cultural Exchange Agency", hoping to promote the people of Japan and China to deepen exchanges in a broader cultural field with youth as the center.
