"As a world-class conductor, Mr Ozawa was deeply familiar to the Chinese people. He was enthusiastic about cultural exchanges between China and Japan, and he made significant contributions to Sino-Japanese friendship through his performances and engagements in our country," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a daily news briefing on Monday.

He had undertaken numerous performances and engagements in China over the years, actively contributing to the cause of Sino-Japanese friendship.

The Chinese Musicians Association and the Chinese Embassy in Japan also sent their sincere condolence messages to Ozawa's family, expressing grief over Ozawa's passing.
"We hope that intellectuals and the general public from both countries will continue to pay attention to and support the development of Sino-Japanese relations, jointly composing the symphony of friendship between China and Japan across generations," Mao noted.
