Q: Kyodo News reported that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will agree on the maritime and air liaison mechanism aimed at preventing unintended clashes. Can you comment on it?

A: China and Japan share the same goal on the crisis management in the East China Sea. Establishing the China-Japan maritime and air liaison mechanism will help our two sides step up mutual trust, manage differences and uphold the peace and stability of the East China Sea. Now the competent departments of our two countries are accelerating the relevant preparation for the launch of this mechanism.
