Chinese, Jordanian Leaders Hail Bilateral Relations
Chinese and Jordanian leaders agreed on Saturday to breathe new life into bilateral cooperation in many fields, particularly trade and economy.
During a meeting with Jordanian Prime Minister Ali Abu Ragheb, visiting Chinese Vice President Hu Jintao said China and Jordan have been developing all-round friendly and cooperative relations since they established diplomatic ties over two decades ago, and have conducted effective cooperation in the political, scientific, trade and economic and cultural fields.
He said both countries are confronted with a task to develop national economy, to improve their peoples' living standards, and the same challenges brought by the globalization of the world economy.
China, Hu said, is ready to tighten its friendly and cooperative ties with Jordan, and will encourage cooperation between China's elite companies and enterprises and their Jordanian counterparts.
China and Jordan have a lot of interests in common and share identical views on many international issues, and the further development of the bilateral ties is a strong aspiration of the two peoples, Hu added.
On the Taiwan issue, the Chinese leader highly appreciated Jordan's persistent stand to adhere to the "one China" policy, to support China's great course of national reunification and to refrain from any official involvement with Taiwan.
For his part, Ragheb said the Jordanian people value their friendship with the Chinese people, and his government attaches importance to friendly cooperative ties with China.
He stressed that Jordan will continue to stick to the "one China" policy and to support China's national reunification.
After the meeting, Hu and Ragheb attended the signing ceremony of a scientific and technological cooperation agreement between the two governments.
