TOKYO -- Chinese Ambassador to Japan Kong Xuanyou on Thursday extended greetings online to overseas Chinese in Japan on the upcoming Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year.

Kong expressed his respect and gratitude to overseas Chinese in Japan for their support in various ways in China's fight against COVID-19.

It is hoped that overseas Chinese in Japan could further raise their awareness of the risks of the current pandemic, strengthen personal protection and safeguard the health and safety of themselves and their families, said the ambassador.

China-Japan relations have continued to improve and develop over the past year, said Kong. Last September, President Xi Jinping held a phone conversation with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and reached important consensus once again on building China-Japan relations in line with the requirements of the new era.

This year and 2022 will be the "China-Japan Cultural and Sports Exchange Promotion Years", as Tokyo and Beijing will host the Olympic Games successively. Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties between China and Japan, ushering in new opportunities for improvement and development of bilateral relations, said Kong.

He hoped that overseas Chinese in Japan will continue to devote themselves to the construction of the motherland and make new contributions to China-Japan friendship.
