China-Japan communication mechanism to address maritime, airspace differences

-
The establishment of the maritime and aerial communication mechanism between China and Japan's defense departments can positively help both sides increase mutual trust, manage differences and maintain peace and stability in the region, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said at a routine news briefing.
Spokesperson Hua Chunying confirmed on Wednesday that the first annual meeting of China and Japan's maritime and aerial communication mechanism between two sides' defense departments was recently held in Beijing
She recalled that two sides signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on setting up a maritime and aerial communication mechanism during Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Japan in May and officially launch the mechanism in June.
Noting that the defense relationship is important to Sino-Japanese ties, Hua hoped the two sides' defensive departments can strengthen exchanges as this year marks the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship.
She added that enhancing defensive communication is conducive to promoting constructive bilateral security relations and injecting positive energy into the continuous improvement of Sino-Japanese ties and into the long-term health and stable development of bilateral relations.
