BEIJING, July 3 -- Chinese State Councilor
Tang Jiaxuan met here Tuesday with a delegation from the Party of
European Socialists (PES) headed by the party's president Poul Nyrup
Rasmussen.
Highlighting the important role played by China and the European Union (EU),
Tang said that China and the EU are both important powers in the
world and thus shoulder significant responsibility for the peace,
stability and prosperity of the world.
The two sides should handle bilateral relations from a long-term and
strategic perspective, Tang said, suggesting that the two continue
to consolidate strategic common understanding and expand mutually
beneficial cooperation.
"The two should address disputes and differences with the best interests
of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership in mind", Tang
noted.
He also spoke positively about the contribution made by the PES to
promote China-EU relations, expressing his hope that the party could
continue its efforts to boost bilateral ties and strengthen the
exchange of information and cooperation with the Chinese side.
Echoing Tang's view, Rasmussen highlighted the achievements that China
has made during its social and economic construction, promising that
the PES would contribute to the development of the EU-China
relations.
The two sides also exchanged views on international issues such as the
Middle East and Darfur.
Before meeting with Tang, Rasmussen also met with Wang Jiarui, minister
of the International Department of the Communist Party of China
(CPC) Central Committee on Tuesday.
