英闻天下——145 Former Japanese PM Apologizes for Wartime Crimes
英语课
Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has expressed his personal apologies for Japan's wartime crimes during a trip to China.
Hatoyama made the remarks during a personal visit to the Nanjing Massacre 1 Museum in the eastern Chinese city of Nanjing.
It's part of Hatoyama's four-day personal visit to China amid Sino-Japanese tensions over the Diaoyu Islands.
"I have to visit Beijing and Nanjing during this hard time of our relations. I hope Chinese people can understand that Japanese politicians have different opinions towards China. I sincerely wish that Sino-Japanese ties can get back to the past when we cherish communication and cooperation."
The 66-year-old was the third former Japanese prime minister to visit the memorial.
Earlier this week, Hatoyama met with China-Japan Friendship Association Chairman Tang Jiaxuan and China's top political advisor 2 Jia Qinglin.
