On November 10, 2014 (September 18 of the 2014 lunar calendar), Xi Jinping met with Abe for the first time. On November 10, 2014, President Xi Jinping met at the Great Hall of the People with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was in China to attend the APEC Leaders 'Informal Meeting. Xi Jinping said that China and Japan are close neighbors and the stable and healthy development of relations between the two countries is in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples and the general expectations of the international community. China government has always attached great importance to relations with Japan and advocated promoting the development of Sino-Japanese relations on the basis of the four political documents of China and Japan and in the spirit of learning from history and facing the future. Xi Jinping pointed out that in the past two years, the rights and wrongs of serious difficulties in Sino-Japanese relations are clear. The two sides have issued a four-point principled consensus on handling and improving China-Japan relations, and hope that Japan will properly handle relevant issues in accordance with the spirit of the consensus. Xi Jinping emphasized that historical issues are related to the feelings of more than 1.3 billion China people and the overall peace, stability and development of the region. Only by abiding by the bilateral political documents between China and Japan and the commitments made by successive governments such as the "Murayama Talks" can Japan develop future-oriented friendly relations with Asian neighbors. Xi Jinping pointed out that to build stable and healthy Sino-Japanese relations, we must follow the trend of progress of the times. It is hoped that Japan will continue to follow the path of peaceful development, adopt prudent military security policies, do more to enhance mutual trust with neighboring countries, and play a constructive role in maintaining regional peace and stability. Shinzo Abe said that China's peaceful development is an important opportunity for Japan and the world. Japan is willing to implement the four-point principled consensus reached by both sides and properly handle relevant issues, taking this as a new starting point to promote the improvement and development of Japan-China strategic and mutually beneficial relations. Japan is determined to continue to follow the path of peaceful development, and the current Japanese government will continue to adhere to the understanding of previous Japanese governments on historical issues. Japan supports China in successfully hosting the APEC Leaders 'Informal Meeting. Xi Jinping and Abe shake hands for extended reading: Letter letter or "chance encounter" extended reading: Letter letter or "chance encounter" letter or "chance encounter" after three years of missing letter or "chance encounter" Before the farce of nationalization of Japan's Diaoyu Islands, Sino-Japanese relations had a honeymoon period. However, with the "island purchase" farce, some warmth was broken, and the "China-Japan Summit" could no longer be realized. Although he failed to hold a formal meeting, Abe used a "messenger" to communicate with Xi Jinping. The two heads of state also had "encounter" in multilateral diplomatic occasions that "had to meet". All the details of "shaking hands" and "pleasantries" attracted the attention of public opinion. In January 2013, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, met with Natsuo Yamaguchi, leader of the Japanese Komeito Party, who handed over a personal letter from Shinzo Abe, who was re-elected Prime Minister. In September 2013, the eighth summit of G20 leaders was held in St. Petersburg, Russia. Before the meeting, Xi Jinping and Abe met in the VIP room where leaders of various countries were waiting, and the two sides had a brief conversation. Xi Jinping said that China and Japan are facing serious difficulties and concisely explained to Abe China's principled position on China-Japan relations. Abe said that he very much hopes to meet President Xi Jinping here, and I urgently hope to improve Japan-China relations. At the APEC meeting held in Bali in 2013, Abe said in an interview with a Japanese press group that at the just-concluded APEC meeting, he shook hands with China President Xi Jinping, but regretted that he could not have a conversation. This meeting was similar to an "gap conversation". That is, during the break of the meeting, the heads of state of the two countries had a brief conversation at a specific location. This level and level is lower than the summit and more formal than the "corridor meeting". It is conceivable that the substantive content that such a meeting can yield may be very limited.
