improvement development: The dialogue shows the sincere willingness of both countries to search for new consensus on outstanding issues, and serves as a booster for the further improvement and development of bilateral relations, according to Global Times China. Initiated in 2005, the strategic dialogue had gone through 13 rounds by 2012, and played an important role in overcoming political obstacles and defining the important connotation and framework of bilateral strategic and mutually beneficial relations. The two sides, headed by Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng and Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Takeo Akiba respectively, exchanged views on bilateral ties and international and regional issues of common concern. However, it was later suspended because of subsequent wrongdoings by the Japanese side, especially on issues of history. Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ahead of the Group of 20 G20 Osaka summit in June and reached a ten-point consensus to jointly promote the healthy development of bilateral relations. Bilateral ties have shown signs of warming under the strategic guidance of the leaders of both sides in recent years.
