China, Russia to Sign Important Documents
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Thursday that China and Russia will sign a treaty on bilateral good-neighborly friendship and cooperation and another "important" political document during Chinese President Jiang Zemin's scheduled visit to Russia starting July 15.
At the routine press conference, Zhang said the major purpose of this visit is the signing of the treaty between Jiang and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which will legalize the concept of peace of the two sides featuring a friendship from generation to generation and never target each other as enemies.
This is to show the will and determination of the two peoples to be everlasting good neighbors, partners and friends, added Zhang.
She pointed out that the treaty, a guideline document directing the development of bilateral relations in the new century, will cover principles and directions for their cooperation in politics, economy, trade, science, technology, culture and international arenas.
Jiang and Putin are also to sign another "important" political document to demonstrate concrete results of Jiang's visit to Russia, noted Zhang.
She said that during the visit, Jiang and Putin will exchange wide-ranging views on the current major and pressing regional and international issues, in order to make concerted efforts to safeguard global strategic balance and stability.
