In a major move to strengthen cross-cultural bonds, China and Japan unveiled a 10-point cooperation plan Wednesday 🌏 – covering everything from anime collaborations to student exchanges and joint sports events. The agreement, signed in Beijing by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Japan’s Foreign Minister Takeshi Iwaya, aims to build \"bridges of understanding\" between the two nations.
🎯 Key Highlights:
✈️ Travel Made Easy: New tourist-friendly policies to boost mutual visits (read: more sushi tours and Great Wall selfies!).
🏫 School Swap: Partnering schools and universities for exchange programs – think manga clubs meet Peking opera workshops.
🎮 Pop Culture Power: Joint ventures in gaming, animation, and film – finally, that Genshin Impact x Studio Ghibli collab we didn’t know we needed?
⛷️ Game On: Support for each other’s 2025 Harbin Winter Games and 2026 Nagoya Asian Games.
🌆 Expo Dreams: Teamwork on Osaka’s 2025 World Expo, with China promising a showstopping pavilion.
Wang Yi emphasized learning from history while \"looking to the future,\" noting next year marks 80 years since WWII's end. Iwaya called the deal a \"new chapter\" in Japan-China relations 💌.
With plans for youth exchanges and sister-city programs, this pact proves culture and sports might just be the ultimate diplomacy tools 🕊️.
