Sino-Russian relations continue to develop. China and Russia signed the Joint Statement by the People’s Republic of China and the Establishment of a New International Order. We have completed demarcation work for the eastern section of our border in accordance with the relevant agreement. We should further expand the cooperation and exchanges between the two countries in such fields as economy, trade, science and technology and step up mutual consultation and cooperation on international issues.

中日关系总体上保持了发展的势头，我们支持日本走和平发展的道路，我们主张以史为鉴，着眼未来，妥善处理存在的问题与分歧，使两国睦邻友好合作关系取得新的发展。

Development in Sino-Japanese relations has on the whole maintained a good progressive momentum. We support Japan in taking the road to development throng peace.

中国政府一贯主张，国家之间的关系应该建立在和平共处五项原则的基础上，通过平等协商和平解决各种争端，反对诉诸武力或以武力相威胁。中国坚决反对任何形式的霸权主义，永远是维护世界和平与地区稳定的重要力量。中国政府和人民愿意与各国政府和人民一道，为建立和平、稳定、公正、合理的国际政治经济新秩序，为促进世界和平与发展的崇高事业，做出自己应有的贡献。

The Chinese government has all along maintained that state-to-state relations should be established on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and that disputes should be settled peacefully through consultation on an equal footing. We oppose the use of force, or the threat of force. We maintain resolutely against hegemonism in whatever form, and will forever act as an important force in safeguarding world peace and regional stability. The Chinese government and people are ready to work with all other government and peoples of the world to make their due contribution to the establishment of a peaceful, stable, just and equitable new international political and economic order and to promotion of the lofty cause of world peace and development.
