中国和日本星期三说，双方同意建立危机管理机制，避免未来在东海发生海上纠纷。有关官员说，日本外务大臣玄叶光一郎访问北京期间达成此项共识。玄叶光一郎与中国外长杨洁篪和国务院总理温家宝举行了会晤。他此行的目的是为日本首相野田佳彦计下个月访问中国做准备。
玄叶光一郎的助手说，中方同意认真考虑放宽进口日本食品的限制。中国在3月11日日本福岛核电站事故后对进口日本食品加以限制。
China and Japan say they have agreed to work toward developing a crisis management mechanism to head off future maritime disputes in the East China Sea. Officials say the agreement came Wednesday during a visit to Beijing by Japanese Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba, who met with Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Premier Wen Jiabao. The trip was aimed at preparing the way for a visit to China next month by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.
Aides to Gemba said the Chinese also agreed to seriously consider easing restrictions placed on food imports from Japan following the March 11 accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
