BEIJING, Sept. 27 (Xinhuanet) -- China and Armenia are willing to
expand exchanges in various fields to promote comprehensive development
of cooperation, according to the Sino-Armenian joint statement issued
here Monday.
The statement, signed by Chinese President Hu Jintao and visiting
Armenian President Robert Sedrakovich Kocharyan, says both sides
speak highly of the fruitful cooperation between the two countries
in political, economic, trade, scientific, technological, cultural
and other areas since the forging of diplomatic ties in 1992.
Both sides are satisfied with the smooth development of relations, and
will continue to carry out high-level exchanges, says the statement.
The two sides encourage and support cooperation between their
businesses to enhance the dimensions of their economic and trade
cooperation, it says.
The two sides agree that the challenges for developing countries
created by economic globalization should arouse people'sattention,
and international society should take active measures to direct the
development of economic globalization towards commonprosperity.
Armenia recognizes China's full market economy status, which
isconducive to enhancing economic and trade ties between China
and Armenia, and both sides attach great importance on developing
inter-parliamentary friendly ties between the two countries, it says.
Both sides share great potential in exchanges and cooperation in
such fields as science, technology, culture, education, agriculture,
journalism and sports, and will encourage regional and civil institutes
to make direct exchanges, says the statement.
Armenia reaffirms that the People's Republic of China is the sole
legitimate government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is
an inalienable part of China. Armenia will not establishany official
contact with Taiwan, and opposes "Taiwan Independence" in any form,
says the statement, which notes that China appreciates Armenia's
stance.
China supports the efforts of the international community to settle
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue peacefully, and hopes that the conflict
can be settled in a just and reasonable way in line with relevant
international principles and norms, it says.
Both sides support the dialogue and cooperation made in international
human rights and oppose double standards on the human rights or the
politicalization of the issue, says the statement.
Both sides agree that the United Nations plays an important role in
safeguarding world peace and security, and the principles of the UN
Charter are still the basic rule for solving international affairs,
says the statement, noting that the two sides are willing to promote
cooperation in some major international affairs to safeguard the
common interests of developing countries.
The maintenance and development of friendly cooperation betweenChina
and Armenia is not directed against any third country, and will not
harm its interests, the statement says.
