China hopes Japanese Prime Minister Koizumi Junichiro to make right decisions in view of the overall situation of Sino-Japanese relations during his second term in office, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in Beijing Tuesday.

Qin said at a regular press conference that China has always adhered to the principles carried in the three political documents signed by China and Japan, namely Sino-Japanese Joint Statement, Sino-Japanese Peace and Friendship Treaty, and Sino-Japanese Joint Declaration.

China wishes to develop long-term friendly and cooperative relations with Japan in line with the principle of "taking history as a mirror and looking forward to the future," Qin said.
