On October 19, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a condolence message to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba regarding the passing of former Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama, expressing condolences for his death and offering condolences to his family.

Xi Jinping pointed out that Mr. Murayama is a Japanese politician with a strong sense of justice and an old friend of the Chinese people, who has long been committed to the cause of Sino Japanese friendship. In 1995, Mr. Murayama, as the then Prime Minister of Japan, made a formal statement on historical issues, acknowledging and deeply reflecting on Japan's history of aggression and colonial rule, and apologizing to the victimized countries. The spirit of the 'village mountain talk' should be adhered to. We hope that Japan and China will move in the same direction, learn from history, face the future, maintain the political foundation of bilateral relations, and work together to comprehensively promote the development of China Japan strategic and mutually beneficial relations.
