中日両国は海ひとつへだてた隣国であり、両国間の歴史には悠久な伝統的友誼があつた。両国人民は、両国間にこれまで存在していたきわめて不正常な状態をあらためることを切望している。中日国交の回復は、両国の関係史上に新たな１ページを開くであろう。

中日両国の社会制度は異なつているとはいえ、平和かつ友好的につきあうべきであり、また、つきあうことができる。中日両国の国交をあらたに樹立し、善隣友好関係を発展させることは、両国人民の根本的な利益に合致するばかりでなく、アジアの緊張情勢の緩和と世界平和の擁護にも役だつものである。
両国政府は友好的な話合いをつうじて、つぎの合意に達した。

China and Japan are only separated by a sea, and a perpetual and traditionally friendly relationship existed in the history between the two countries.

The reestablishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan will open a new page for the history of relations between the two countries.
