BEIJING, June 11 -- Chinese President Hu Jintao said Friday that China is ready to work with all relevant parties to push for new progress in international anti-terrorism cooperation.
Hu made the remark in a written interview with reporters from Kazakhstan and Russia on the eve of his upcoming visit to Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine from June 12 to 20.
Hu said, with the joint efforts of the international community, positive progresses have been made in international anti-terrorism efforts and terrorists activities encountered a serious blow.
"But at the same time, we should see that the international anti-terrorism situation is still severe, and some terrorist organizations are still active," said Hu, adding there is still a long way to go in the fight against terrorism.
"The international community should follow the guidance of the Charter of the United Nations and other recognized international laws and rules, strengthen cooperation and fight against terrorism together," said Hu.
He added that China is willing to, in light of the principles of equal cooperation and two-way mutual benefit, work with all relevant parties to push new advancement in international anti-terrorism cooperation, so as to safeguard regional and world peace and stability.
The complexity of the international situation is still prominent, featured by continuously emerging deep-seated impact of the global financial crisis, slow recovery of the world economy and unbalanced development.
While the international security situation remain generally stable, unstable factors are increasing, Hu said. The political instability and chaos in some West Asia and North Africa countries has brought complex and profound impact to the regional stability. Threats and challenges from global problems such as climate change, environmental deterioration, energy resources safety, severe epidemic diseases and major natural disasters are increasing.
China highly esteems its energy cooperation with Russia, which is an important part in China-Russia economic and trade cooperation as well as a key component of the strategic partnership of cooperation between the two nations," Hu said.
China has been actively engaged in the development of international energy market and extensive cooperation with relevant countries in recent years, he said, adding that these activities are conducive to enhancing global energy supply and safeguarding the stability of world energy market.
Hu said China and Russia have jointly overcome the impact of global financial crisis on their bilateral trade, as the two-way trade volume reached about 60 billion U.S. dollars in 2010 and China has become Russia's largest trade partner.
Judging from the current growing momentum of bilateral trade, the goal proposed by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev last November that two-way trade reaches 100 billion dollars in three to five years is absolutely achievable, Hu said.
The two countries should give full play to their respective advantages to achieve better and faster development of economic cooperation by expanding trade scale and improving the quality and level of the cooperation, he said.
In recent years, two-way investment has been growing fast with more and more cooperation programs in different sectors, he said, adding that the two countries endorsed in 2009 the Sino-Russian Investment Cooperation Plan and the planning outline of regional cooperation between the North East of China and the Russian Far East region and East Siberia.
