China said Thursday it is willing to make joint efforts with Japan to push forward the bilateral ties in a healthy and stable way.
The Chinese government has always attached great importance to the China-Japan ties, and advanced the development of bilateral friendly cooperation, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular press conference.
China-Japan ties are facing "key opportunities for further development" at the current stage, she said.
"We would like to work together with Japan to push forward the bilateral ties in a sound and stable way by maintaining the momentum of high-level exchanges, enhancing mutual political trust and deepening substantial cooperation," the spokeswoman said.
She said China will solve relevant issues with Japan in accordance with the principle and spirit of the three bilateral political documents.
Shinzo Abe, who took office on Sept. 26 last year, offered his resignation Wednesday, less than a month after he reshuffled the Cabinet following a crushing defeat in parliamentary election.
He has been plagued by a series of scandals involving his cabinet ministers, pension recording errors, as well as a crushing defeat in July's upper house election, when his Liberal Democrat Party lost its decades-long dominance of the chamber.
