Moreover, at a meeting in Beijing earlier this month between Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during a trilateral summit with South Korea, Wen mentioned the independence movement in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and the Senkaku Islands in the same breath. “It is important to respect China's core interests and issues of major concern,” he emphasized.
此外，在本月早些时候在北京举行的中日韩三国峰会中，日本首相野田佳彦和中国总理温家宝进行了会晤。温家宝说，新疆维吾尔自治区的独立运动和钓鱼岛事件的性质是一样的。“尊重中国的核心利益和重大关切是十分重要的。”温家宝强调说。
