China and South Korea said they expect the warming trends in their
sometimes rocky relations with Japan to continue following Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe's announcement? to resign on Wednesday.
Abe played an active and constructive role in developing China-Japan
ties, which have scored tangible improvement through the efforts of?both
the Chinese and Japanese governments and peoples, China's Foreign
Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu made the remarks when commenting on?Abe's
resignation.
Further development of China-Japan ties is in the?basic interests of the
two nations and their peoples, Jiang said.
South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Cho Hee-yong sounded similarly
upbeat.
"If a new prime minister is appointed and a new Cabinet is formed, we
hope that the existing friendly and cooperative relations between South
Korea and Japan would be further developed," Cho said.
Chinese scholars said they don't expect any vast changes in relations
following Abe's announcement, but said that depended largely on the
attitude and policies of his successor.
Abe's resignation "introduces new unstable factors into bilateral
relations," said Jin Linbo, a researcher at the China Institute for
International Studies.
