中方对日方参与“一带一路”建设一直持开放态度。特别是在共同开辟第三方市场方面，中日互补优势明显，双方开展相关合作不仅有利于拓展中日经贸合作，也有利于第三方的经济发展。不久前，中日双方签署了《关于中日第三方市场合作事项的备忘录》，决定设立跨部门的“推进中日第三方市场合作工作机制”，相信这将为两国企业开展第三方市场合作提供更好的制度保障和有效的合作平台。 

　　我们支持两国企业围绕“一带一路”和第三方市场取得更多合作成果，惠及两国人民，实现互利双赢。

China always remains open to Japan's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative. In terms of conducting cooperation in third-party markets in particular, China and Japan enjoy notable complementary strengths. The two sides' cooperation in this regard will not only help expand China-Japan economic and trade cooperation, but also be conducive to the economic development of the third parties. Not long ago, the two sides signed the China-Japan Memorandum of Understanding on Third-Party Markets Cooperation and decided to set up an inter-agency working mechanism to promote China-Japan cooperation on third-party markets. We believe this will provide better institutional guarantees and an effective platform for Chinese and Japanese businesses to conduct cooperation on third-party markets. 

We support businesses in our two countries in achieving more cooperation outcomes regarding third-party market cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, bringing benefits to the two peoples and realizing win-win results and mutual benefits.
