TOKYO -- China and Japan launched a high-level consultation mechanism on people-to-people exchanges here on Monday, with both sides vowing to push for greater development of people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries in the new era.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sent congratulatory letters respectively, which were read by Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi.

He called on the two sides to give full play to the role of the high-level consultation mechanism on people-to-people exchanges, actively carry out such exchanges and cooperation in culture, sports and tourism to push for greater development of people-to-people and cultural exchanges in the new era.

The two sides reached consensus in the fields such as culture, tourism, education, sports, media, film and television, local, youth and women, including designating the year of 2020 as the "China-Japan Cultural and Sports Exchange Promotion Year"; resuming and expanding two-way study tours; expanding personnel exchanges in a balanced way to exceed 15 million at an early date; promoting cooperation in cultural industries; and supporting each other in making the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics a success.
