China attaches great importance to cooperation among China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK), and is confident in it, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Friday.



Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks while attending Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's meeting in Tokyo with foreign ministers from China, Japan and the ROK.



Wang said that China-Japan-ROK cooperation started early, achieved many results and has great potential, and has played an important role in enhancing mutual understanding and mutually beneficial cooperation among them.



There is a saying in all three countries that goes "A nearby neighbor is better than a distant relative," Wang said, adding in the face of a world that is becoming increasingly unstable and uncertain, the proverb, full of oriental wisdom, highlights the significance of their cooperation.
