BEIJING, June 5 -- Chinese President Hu
Jintao met here Thursday with a delegation of the Party of European
Socialists (PES) headed by the party's president Poul Nyrup
Rasmussen.
Hu, also general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party of China (CPC), highlighted the important role the PES played
in European political affairs, adding that the CPC values its ties
with the PES and the two sides share identical or similar views on
many significant international issues.
The CPC would, in a spirit of shelving ideological difference and seeking
for mutual understanding and cooperation, strengthen friendly
exchange and cooperation with the PES and its member parties on the
basis of independence, equality, mutual respect and non-intervention
in each other's internal affairs, Hu said.
China would make its utmost efforts to step up the China-EU all-round
strategic partnership to promote long-lasting peace, common
prosperity and harmony of the world, the Chinese President noted.
Rasmussen spoke positively about CPC's efforts to promote social harmony
and China's achievements in social and economic development he
witnessed during the visit, saying that China and the European Union
(EU) share more and more common interests with the rapid development
of globalization.
He expressed his hope that China could play a bigger role in
international affairs, pledging that the PES would work hard to push
forward the candid exchange and mutually beneficial cooperation
between the CPC and PES, and among China and the EU members.
He also extended his congratulations to Hu on the successful practice of
"one country, two systems" in Hong Kong.
