Q: It is reported that Japanese Prime Minister Abe sent a potted plant to the Yasukuni Shrine at his own expense in April. What is your comment?

The Yasukuni Shrine is a major political and sensitive issue in China-Japan relations. The two sides have reached consensus on overcoming the political obstacles to the bilateral ties and promoting the healthy development of the friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries. The consensus should be strictly abided by.
