"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.
