BEIJING, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Many Japanese enterprises and economic organizations have signed up to participate in the fourth China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), a reflection of the Japanese business community's strong desire to improve China-Japan relations and deepen cooperation with China, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday at a regular press briefing.
