Chinese Premier Meets Karzai

Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji reiterated Wednesday that China opposes terrorism in any form.

Zhu made the remarks in a discussion on the international community's anti-terrorism moves with visiting Afghan Interim Government Chairman Hamid Karzai, who arrived here earlier Wednesday on a two-day visit as a guest of the Chinese government.

Zhu pointed out that the terrorist actions by a small number of"East Turkistan" terrorists who were trained outside China have disturbed the peace and stability of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and the Chinese government attaches great importance to this.

Karzai said the Afghan Interim Government completely understands China's concern, and will no longer tolerate the existence of any terrorist force in Afghanistan.

The Afghan Interim Government will make all-out efforts to cooperate with China, and supports the Chinese government's crackdown on the "East Turkistan" terrorist activities, he said.
