Taha said the Sudanese government has attached importance to developing relations with China, and thanks China for its support to Sudan's national independence and territorial integrity. He also expressed gratitude for China's economic and technology assistance toward Sudan, and its reduction of debt owned by the African nation. Sudan hopes to further its cooperation with China in all fields especially in the area of petroleum, he added. Taha reaffirmed Sudan's One-China stance, and expressed his appreciation for China's efforts in promoting Sino-African cooperation. Hu Jintao said the international situation tends to ease on the whole, but hegemonism and power politics still exist, thus peace and development face challenges. Globalization is bound to intensify, Hu said, adding that economic globalization promotes the world economy, and will widen the gap between the rich and the poor. The Chinese Vice President urged the developing countries to work together to promote the establishment of a just and reasonable international political and economic order.
