　　On October 26, Ms. Cao Saixian, Director General of Shenzhen Foreign Affairs Office met with Ms. Kijima Yoshiko, the Consul General of Japan in Guangzhou and her delegation.

　　曹主任对贵岛善子总领事一行访深表示欢迎，祝贺其新任日本驻广州总领事。她表示，深圳是一座开放包容、年轻活力、绿色宜居的城市，与日本在经贸合作、友城交往、文化旅游、青少年交流领域合作交流密切。日本是较早来深圳投资的国家之一，包括日资企业在内的外资企业为深圳改革开放和经济发展作出了贡献。今年是中日和平友好条约缔结45周年，希望以此为契机，双方进一步深化各领域务实合作，为构建契合新时代要求的中日关系作出积极贡献。

　　Ms. Cao expressed welcome to the Consul General Kijima Yoshiko and congratulated her on her new appointment as the Consul General of Japan in Guangzhou. She introduced that Shenzhen is an open and inclusive, young and energetic, green and habitable city, and has close exchanges and cooperation with Japan in the fields of economic and trade cooperation, friendship city exchanges, culture and tourism, and youth communication. Japan is one of the earliest countries that started investment in Shenzhen. Foreign-invested enterprises, including Japanese-funded ones, have contributed to Shenzhen’s reform and opening-up as well as economic development. This year marks the 45th anniversary of the exchange of notes and entry into effect of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship Between China and Japan. We hope both sides will take the opportunity to further deepen practical cooperation in various fields, and make positive contributions to the bilateral relationship that answers the call of the new era.

　　贵岛善子总领事表示，45年前，日中两国领导人签署了日中和平友好条约，极大维护和发展了两国和平友好关系。深圳是中国改革开放的前沿，许多日资企业在深投资发展，分享了中国改革开放的红利。她希望继续推动日本与深圳夯实友好基础，深化务实合作。

　　Consul General Kijima Yoshiko said that 45 years ago, the leaders of Japan and China signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Japan and China, which has greatly safeguarded and developed the peaceful and friendly relations between the two countries. Shenzhen is the frontier of China’s reform and opening up. Many Japanese enterprises have invested in Shenzhen and enjoyed the dividends of China’s reform and opening up. She hopes to further consolidate the friendship foundation and deepen practical cooperation between Japan and Shenzhen.
