China welcomes Japan's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, Commerce Minister Zhong Shan said on Sunday.
"The Belt and Road Initiative is open, inclusive and transparent," Zhong said at a press conference on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.
Noting that Japan has been paying close attention to issues related to Belt and Road Initiative, Zhong said China is willing to cooperate with Japan within the Belt and Road framework.
