BEIJING, November 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide in Beijing on Tuesday.
China views Norway as an important and stable partner in the European direction, noted Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, and expressed hope that Norway will continue its positive, stable, pragmatic and rational policy towards China.
The Chinese minister called on both sides to implement the important consensus reached by the heads of state, respect each other's core interests and take into account each other's major concerns, and continue to strive for openness and win-win results.
He added that China is willing to cooperate with Norway in jointly upholding multilateralism, opposing decoupling and chain breaking, and advancing the development of the international system toward greater fairness and rationality.
Espen Barth Eide, in turn, stated that Norway firmly adheres to the one-China policy, adding that the Kingdom, as a European leader in environmental transformation, is fully opening its market to Chinese electric vehicles and pursuing a zero-tariff policy. Norwegian companies are optimistic about the Chinese market and hope to expand investment and cooperation with China.
He added that Xi Jinping's Global Governance Initiative is largely consistent with Norway's vision. Norway stands ready to work hand in hand with China to uphold the spirit of the UN Charter and support a rules-based multilateral trading system.
Both sides agreed to strengthen the alignment of development strategies, expand mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as trade, maritime affairs, green development and innovation, and promote a stable business climate for enterprises in both countries.
Regarding the situation in the Middle East, both sides agreed that the ceasefire agreement must be effectively implemented, and the international community, particularly countries with influence over the conflicting parties, must provide the necessary support to achieve a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire. Both sides called for support for the Palestinian National Authority in strengthening its authority and governance capacity.
