10th Anniv. of the Japan-China Treaty of Peace and Friendship
Issued on August 12, 1988 (Showa 63)
In August 1988, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued a stamp to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the conclusion of the Japan-China Peace and Friendship Treaty between Japan and China. Article 1 of the Nippon Express Peace and Friendship Treaty describes mutual respect for sovereignty and territory, mutual inviolability, and mutual non-intervention in internal affairs.
Article 4 describes the treaty's relations with third countries, stating the further development of relations.
However, since August 2012, China has highlighted the invasion of Japanese territory (international law) into the Senkaku Islands.
