Chinese President Hu Jintao (L) meets with his Liberian counterpart Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in Monrovia, capital of Liberia, Feb. 1, 2007.
 
MONROVIA, Feb. 2 - Chinese President Hu Jintao and Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf agreed on Thursday to make common efforts to implement1 the consensus2 the two sides have reached on bilateral3 cooperation.

 

In their talks held shortly after Hu's arrival in Monrovia from Cameroon, the two leaders said that with concerted efforts by both sides, China-Liberia relations will be pushed to a new high.

 

Hu said that the Chinese and Liberian people enjoy a traditional friendship and that relations between the two countries have been developing rapidly since the resumption of diplomatic ties in 2003, with high-level exchanges increasing, mutual4 political trust enhanced, and trade and economic cooperation making headway.

 

The projects of inter-governmental cooperation were conducted smoothly5, and the cooperation in the fields of education, health and human resources has yielded fruitful results, said the Chinese president.

 

China and Liberia have also maintained sound consultation6 and cooperation in international affairs, he said.

 

Hu said that Chinese soldiers' participation7 in the UN peacekeeping mission in Liberia has contributed to peace, stability, reconstruction8 and development in Liberia.

 

The Chinese president expressed appreciation9 for the unswerving adherence10 by the Liberian government and parliament to the one-China policy and their support for China's great cause of national unification.

 

He put forward a four-point proposal on facilitating further cooperation between China and Liberia:

 

-- Promoting exchanges between government departments, legislatures and political parties, as well as people-to-people contacts between the two countries, so as to lay a solid socio-political foundation for their friendship;

 

-- Conducting pragmatic cooperation in trade and economy, sparing no effort in carrying out the ongoing11 cooperation projects and encouraging businesses to engage in various forms of cooperation;

 

-- Jointly12 pushing for the implementation13 in Liberia of the measures announced by the Chinese government at the Beijing summit of the Forum14 on China-Africa Cooperation;

 

-- Expanding exchanges in the humanistic field and strengthening cooperation in education, health, culture, personnel training and international affairs to safeguard the common interests of the two countries and other developing nations.

 

For her part, Johnson-Sirleaf said Hu's visit to Liberia is of great historical significance.

 

The visit indicates that China is a friend of Africa and Liberia, she said.

 

Johnson-Sirleaf thanked China for its support and aid for Liberia's reconstruction and development.

 

Liberia hopes to learn from China's experience in its economic development, and to conduct cooperation with it in the fields of trade, investment and infrastructure15 construction, she added.

 

Liberia will strive for the success of cooperation projects with China to benefit its people, she said.

 

Johnson-Sirleaf reiterated16 the Liberian government's adherence to the one-China policy and voiced support for the development of relations between China and Africa.

 

After their talks, Hu and Johnson-Sirleaf witnessed the signing of seven documents on cooperation in economy, technology, health, education and agriculture.

 

The two leaders attended the inauguration17 of a China-aided malaria18 prevention and treatment center.

 

President Hu, who arrived here from Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, is on an eight-nation tour of Africa that will also take him to Sudan, Zambia, Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and Seychelles.
