The Asia Pacific region is our common home, and expanded co-operation between Canada and China, with greater co-operation and development across the region, serves the mutual interests of the Chinese and Canadian people and the people in the region as a whole.
China is the most populous developing country in the world, while Canada is the largest developed country in terms of land mass,
China is ready to work with Canada to tap the potential of continued cooperation in all fields in the spirit of equality and mutual benefit so as to better serve our two peoples and further promote peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.
To develop a friendly relationship and cooperation with Canada is an important component of China's foreign policy,
China and Canada shoulder important responsibilities in safeguarding world peace and promoting common development,
Canada with its highly developed economy, diverse industrial sectors and rich natural resources and China with its rapid growth and huge market are highly complementary,
In recent years, China and Canada have had quite some discussions about human rights on the basis of mutual respect, ... We affirm this constructive approach to human rights.
We will stick to the fundamental principles of 'peaceful reunification' and 'one country, two systems,' as well as the eight-point proposal for the current stage of efforts to develop Cross-Straits relations and advance the process of peaceful national reunification,
We will seize the opportunity to concentrate on construction and development,
We will never forget the American Flying Tigers who fought shoulder to shoulder with the Chinese military and opened up, at the risk of their lives, the Hump Route to deliver strategic supplies to China,
I've told President Bush that the Chinese side will intensify the efforts to protect intellectual property rights and crack down on infringement. We are ready to strengthen cooperation with the United States in this regard,
The six-party talks have run into some difficulties at the moment. I hope the parties will be able to further display flexibility, work together and create necessary conditions for the early resumption of talks.
