Chinese Premier: Russia and China will never become each other’s enemy (again)


News-worthy.info — China’s Premier Wen Jiabao met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin early this week, signing 12 documents on cooperation between the two nations.
The documents signed covered cooperation on aviation, railroad construction, customs, intellectual property protection, culture and also a joint communique. No details of the documents has been released yet.
But Putin divulged that one of the pacts signed was about the purchase of two nuclear reactors from Russia by China’s Tianwan nuclear power plant. Tianwan nuclear power plant is the most advanced nuclear power complex in China.
Wen’s trip to Russia was to follow the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s three-day visit to China last September. During the visit, Medvedev and China President Hu Jintao launched a cross-border pipeline linking, which experts described as linking the world’s biggest energy producer Russia with the largest energy consumer China.
At a press conference, Wen said that Beijing and Moscow partnership has “reached an unprecedented level” and pledged the two countries will “never become each other’s enemy”.
During the cold war, China and Russia – formerly the Soviet Union – had been enemy to one another with China more inclined to the U.S. than to its fellow communist regime in the Soviet Union.
Over the past year, Wen said, “China and Russia strategic cooperative partnership has endured strenuous tests,” adding that the two nations are now more confident and more determined to defend their mutual interests.
“China will firmly follow the path of peaceful development and support the renaissance of Russia as a great power,” he said. More at:
