BERLIN -- Chinese President Hu Jintao said here Thursday that China will
adhere to the path of peaceful development characterized by peace, opening up
and cooperation.
"China's development will be achieved through striving for a peaceful
international environment and its development will promote world peace in
return," Hu said at a banquet hosted by theAsian-Pacific Committee of the German
Business.
"China will steadfastly adhere to the road of peaceful development," Hu said.
He said China will stick to its basic policy of reform and opening up and
will honor its commitments to the World Trade Organization made upon the entry
into the global trading body.
China will continue to improve its foreign-related economic structures,
strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, foster a stable and
transparent foreign-related economic management system, create a fair and
foreseeable legal environment, raise the level of freedom and convenience for
trade and investment so as to create a better environment for investment, said
Hu.
China will stick to the policies of harmonious development at home and
peaceful development internationally, which is conducive to building a
harmonious world with everlasting peace and common prosperity, he said.
On China's relations with the European Union (EU), Hu said thatthis year
marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the
two sides.
The development of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and
the EU conforms to the fundamental interests of both sides, he noted.
The trade and economic cooperation between China, the world's largest
developing country, and the EU, the world's largest bloc of developed countries,
conducted on the basis of equality and mutual benefit is conducive to the
healthy development of economic globalization as well as the multi-polarization
of the world, Hu noted.
China is ready to develop China-EU relations on the basis of mutual respect,
equality and mutual benefit and build an even closer partnership.
Germany, the largest economy in the EU and an important drivingforce for
European integration, has over the years offered vigorous support and
commitments to closer China-EU cooperation and has thus made important
contributions to the development of China-EU relations.
Hu hoped that Germany would continue to play its positive role within the EU
and make new contributions to the all-round development of China-EU ties.
The Chinese president arrived here Thursday for a three-day state visit to
Germany.
