习近平指出，在双方共同努力下，中日关系持续改善发展。今年6月，我同首相先生在大阪会晤，一致同意推动构建契合新时代要求的中日关系。

As today's world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, "the more complicated the situation is, the more we need to maintain strategic resolve and adopt a forward-looking vision that takes the overall situation into consideration," said Xi.
习近平强调，当今世界正经历百年未有之大变局。形势越是复杂，越需要我们保持从容不迫的战略定力，越需要我们具备登高望远的全局视野。

双方要把握正确方向，恪守中日四个政治文件确立的各项原则，妥善处理有关重大敏感问题，巩固两国关系政治基础。

The two sides should implement the political consensus that China and Japan are cooperative partners and not threats to each other, and follow the spirit of "switching competition into coordination," to promote the proper development of ties, said Xi.
双方应该践行中日“互为合作伙伴、互不构成威胁”的政治共识，本着“化竞争为协调”的精神，推动两国关系始终沿着正确轨道持续向前发展。

习近平指出，双方要拓展务实合作，推进高质量共建“一带一路”和中日第三方市场合作。
