BEIJING, Aug. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- The 7th Beijing-Tokyo Forum opened in Beijing on Sunday.

This year’s forum, the Future of Asia and China-Japan Cooperation in Economic Reshaping, expects about 600 leaders from the political, business, academic and media fields to take part in a two-day discussion focusing on China-Japan cooperation.

Wang Chen, minister of the State Council Information Office, delivers a speech at the reception for Beijing-Tokyo Forum on Saturday night in Beijing.

Wang Chen, minister of the State Council Information Office, said at the reception on Saturday for the forum that China pursues an open development that is not exclusive to the rest of the world, but instead ensures cooperation and win-win with other countries.

"China and Japan’s economy are highly reliant on each other, and they are so close that they cannot get separated from each other,” Wang said.
