(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-09-22 21:33 NEW YORK: Chinese President Hu Jintao has met several heads of state and government leaders after arriving here Monday for a UN climate change summit and other UN meetings.
He will also attend a financial summit of the Group of 20 (G20) in Pittsburgh, scheduled for September 24-25.
Hu said relations between the two countries were enjoying excellent momentum, with fruitful cooperation in economic, energy, humanities and other fields amid frequent high-level exchanges and steadily strengthening political trust between the two countries. The two sides supported each other on major issues of mutual concern and cooperated soundly in multilateral frameworks, such as the United Nations, with positive contributions to the promotion of regional and world peace and development, he said. At the meeting, the Chinese president put forward a five-point proposal on furthering relations between China and Turkmenistan. Hu also met his Bolivian counterpart, Evo Morales, on Monday and reached consensus with him on further developing the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries. At his meeting with Morales, Hu said that, thanks to joint efforts by both sides, the two countries had made positive progress in bilateral relations in recent years, and cooperation in fields such as the economy and trade, culture, education, science and technology and sports had been fruitful. The Chinese president also put forward a four-point proposal for the further development of China-Bolivia relations. Hu also discussed the development of bilateral ties with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Hu said his meeting with Sarkozy during the G20 summit in London in April helped bring the China-France relationship back on the track of healthy development, and a good momentum had appeared recently in bilateral relations, marked by increased high-level exchanges and a resumption of pragmatic cooperation in a variety of fields. All these had helped to enhance political mutual trust and boost coordination and cooperation between China and France in various areas, said the Chinese president. China attached great importance to its relations with France, Hu said. Maintaining and developing a good China-France relationship was not only conducive to the fundamental interests of both countries, but also to world peace, stability and prosperity. This year marked the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. China was ready to work with the French side to review the historical experience of bilateral relations, and promote a healthy and steady development of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations. For his part, Sarkozy said he was pleased to see the rapid development of bilateral ties, and believed the French-Chinese relationship was progressing smoothly. Sarkozy stressed that the French-Chinese comprehensive strategic partnership was important to France, and France was willing to join hands with China to build a bright future for their bilateral relations. Sarkozy said France would actively participate in the Shanghai Expo, scheduled to open in May 2010, and wished the Expo a success. During the talks, Hu said China had undertaken a series of measures to tackle the global financial crisis and these had produced tangible results. China was confident of overcoming the difficulties and ensuring a steady and rapid growth of the Chinese economy. With the Chinese economy beginning to stabilize and recover, there would be more opportunities and more room for economic and trade cooperation between China and France, Hu said. Sarkozy said China had made important contributions to global economic growth and had honored all the commitments it made at the G20 summit in London. China was an important force in promoting the world economy's recovery and development, he said. On the issue of climate change, Hu said China had adopted policies and measures to deal with climate change. It also had formulated and carried out a national plan in that regard, and had scored preliminary achievements in energy-saving and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. China was ready to continue to contribute to efforts against climate change, and to play a positive and constructive role in ensuring that the Copenhagen conference in December would be a success, he said. Hu and Sarkozy also exchanged views on reforming the world monetary system and other issues. On Monday evening, Hu met Japan's new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to discuss China-Japan ties and other issues of common concern. Both leaders agreed to further advance bilateral relations. "I wish and believe that, during the tenure of Prime Minister Hatoyama, China-Japan relations will enter a new stage of more active growth and usher in a period of greater opportunity," Hu said. Hu congratulated Hatoyama on his election victory, speaking highly of the active role the Japanese leader had played in improving and expanding China-Japan relations. China and Japan, Hu said, were friendly neighbors separated only by a narrow strip of water. He pointed out that both nations were important countries in Asia and the world. |
