China said on Tuesday it held an "open attitude" for proposal that would help resolve the East China Sea issue.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao made the remarks at a regular press conference when answering a question concerning the 11th consultation between China and Japan on oil and gas exploration in the East China Sea to be held in Tokyo on Wednesday.
Hu Zhengyue, director-general of the Department of Asian Affairs of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, and Kenichiro Sasae, head of the Japanese Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, will attend the consultation, according to Liu.
He said China attached great importance to the consultation and would continue to push it forward with a positive and pragmatic attitude.
"We hope Japan will make the same effort to promote the consultation," he said, adding that only joint efforts from the two countries could help in reaching an agreement.
