王毅：这段时间，日本方面采取了更为清晰、更为积极的对华政策，中日关系出现难得的改善势头，中方对此表示欢迎。只要日方不犹豫、不折腾、不倒退，客观对待和认同中国的发展，中方愿意与日方相向而行，共同推动两国关系回到健康、稳定的发展轨道。
今年是中日和平友好条约缔结40周年。40年前的条约，以法律形式确认了正确对待历史、坚持一个中国等中日关系正常化时规定的各项政治原则，明确了两国和平共处、世代友好的大方向。不忘初心，方得始终。40年后，站在承前启后的历史关口，希望日方能够政治上讲信用，行动上守规矩，切实维护好两国关系的政治基础，并且把“互为合作伙伴、互不构成威胁”的政治共识真正落到实处。我相信，只要中日关系持续改善，两国高层往来自然水到渠成，和平友好也将重新成为两国关系的主旋律。
Wang Yi: In the recent period, Japan has adopted a clearer and more positive policy towards China, resulting in a precious improvement of relations. China welcomes this. If Japan does not prevaricate, flip-flop or backpedal, and instead comes to terms with China's development and welcomes it, China will be willing to act in the same spirit and work with Japan to put our relationship back on the track of healthy and steady growth.
Forty years ago, China and Japan signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship. It codified the political principles agreed in negotiating the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations, including handling history correctly and following the one-China policy. The treaty also enshrined our joint desire to live in peace and friendship forever. As a saying goes, never forget why you started, and you can accomplish your mission. Forty years on, at another crucial juncture of history, we hope Japan will have political credibility and act accordingly to cement the political foundation of our relations and give effect to the political understanding that "China and Japan see each other as partners, not threats". I am hopeful that with the steady improvement of our relations, high-level visits will naturally come about, and peace and friendship will again be the dominant theme of China-Japan relations.
凤凰卫视记者：中国如何看待美、日、印、澳四国加强合作的“印太”战略？是否认为这是针对中国的“围堵”？
王毅：这个世界上，各种话题层出不穷，花样翻新。就像太平洋和印度洋上的浪花，一时引人耳目，转瞬归于平寂。有些学者和媒体渲染所谓“印太战略”是为了围堵中国，但四国官方立即表示无意针对任何国家。我希望他们说的是实话，也希望他们能言行一致。在当今时代，再挑起冷战已不合时宜，再搞小圈子对抗更没有市场。
Phoenix TV: What is China's view on the "Indo-Pacific strategy" pursued by the US, Japan, India and Australia? Do you see it as an attempt to "contain" China?
Wang Yi: It seems there is never a shortage of headline-grabbing ideas. They are like the sea foam in the Pacific or Indian Ocean: they may get some attention, but soon will dissipate. Contrary to the claim made by some academics and media outlets that the "Indo-Pacific strategy" aims to contain China, the four countries' official position is that it targets no one. I hope they mean what they say and their action will match their rhetoric. Nowadays, stoking a new Cold War is out of sync with the times and inciting block confrontation will find no market.
