MOSCOW, July 1 (Xinhuanet) — China and Russia here Friday issued a joint statement on a new world order in the 21st century, setting forth their common stand on major international issues, such as UN reforms, globalization, North-South cooperation, and world economy and trade.

The statement was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao after their talks.

During their talks, the two leaders discussed ways to further enhance the strategic and cooperative partnership between China and Russia, and exchanged views on major regional and international issues.

The joint statement said the two countries are determined to strengthen their strategic coordination in international affairs and promote peace, stability and prosperity of the world.

UN REFORMS

The joint statement says that UN reforms should be aimed at strengthening the world body’s leading role in international affairs, improving its efficiency and increasing its potential fordealing with new challenges and threats.

UN reforms should be based on consensus through consultations, and should fully embody the common interests of the vast number ofmember countries.

The United Nations is the world’s most comprehensive, representative and authoritative organization, and both its role and function are irreplaceable, said the joint statement on a new world order in the 21st century.

The United Nations should play a leading role in global affairsand be the core for establishing and executing basic norms of international law, the statement added.

The statement calls for UN peacekeeping operations to be carried out in accordance with the tenets and principles of the UNcharter.

Resolutions of the UN Security Council must be strictly abided by. Cooperation between the UN on the one hand and regional and subregional organizations on the other should be developed, according to the joint statement.

The joint statement also calls on the world body to play a bigger role in the study of global economic and development problems.

MULTILATERALISM

The joint statement says that countries must be allowed to decide autonomously on their internal affairs while international issues should be solved through dialogue and consultations on the basis of multilateralism.

The international community should completely renounce the mentality of confrontation and alliance; there should be no pursuit of monopoly or domination of world affairs; and countries of the world should not be divided into a leading camp and a subordinate camp, said the joint statement.

Every country must be assured of the right to choose its own path of development that fits its national realities, the right toparticipate in international affairs as an equal, and the right todevelopment on an equal footing, it says.

Differences and disputes must be solved through peaceful means rather than through unilateralism or coercion. There should be no use or threatened use of force, says the joint statement.

Only on the basis of universally recognized tenents and norms of international law, and under an impartial and rational world order, can problems facing mankind be solved, says the document.

All countries should strictly observe the principles of mutual respect for each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence, itsays.

The joint statement believes that the world is undergoing a historic change. The establishment of a new world order will be a long and complicated process, it says.

The central task of mankind in the 21st century is to safeguardpeace, stability and security for the whole mankind, and to realize full-scale coordinated development on the basis of equality, maintenance of sovereignty, mutual respect, mutual benefit and ensurance of good development prospects for future generations.

Hu arrived here on Thursday for a state visit. He will also visit Kazakhstan and Britain, where he will attend the G8 plus five summit.

NEW SECURITY FRAMEWORK

The joint statement calls on the international community to establish a new security framework on the basis of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and cooperation.

The framework should have the universally recognized norms of international relations as its political foundation, and mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity as its economic foundation, says the joint statement.

The establishment of this framework should be based on the equal security rights of all nations while dialogue, consultation and negotiation on an equal footing should be the means for settling conflicts and maintaining peace, the joint statement says.

China and Russia support efforts to maintain global strategic stability, and the multilateral process of establishing legal systems on arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation, it says.

The two sides will work together to put the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty into effect as soon as possible and to push for the universality and effectiveness of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (INT), the Biological WeaponsConvention and the Convention on the Banning of Chemical Weapons (CWC).

They also call for the peaceful use of outer space, and voice opposition to weapons deployment and arm races in outer space. They push for relevant international legislation to this end.

The two leaders believe that in face of new threats and challenges, further effective measures should be taken to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) as well astheir carriers and relevant materials, according to the joint statement.

The joint statement says the two sides have decided to cooperate more closely in related international organizations and forums and expand cooperation with other like-minded countries. The issue of proliferation of WMDs should be resolved through political, diplomatic and international cooperation within the framework of international law, says the joint statement.

The two sides think that a UN-led global system should be set up to deal with new threats and challenges on the basis of the UN Charter and international law, it says.

The joint statement says regional integration is an important character in the development of the current international situation.

Open, non-exclusive regional organizations are playing a positive role in shaping a new world order.

The two countries appeal for the promotion of further economic cooperation in regional integration and for the establishment of security cooperation mechanisms.

They also voice support for regional organizations to set up ties with each other and produce an atmosphere of mutual trust andcooperation, the joint statement says.

ATTENTION TO GAP OF DISPARITY

All countries should have an equal opportunity to enjoy the profits of globalization in such fields as economy, society, science, technology, information and culture, said the joint statement, calling for mutually beneficial cooperation and common development.

Developed countries and developing ones should make efforts to eliminate discrimination in economic relations, and narrow the gapof disparity between the rich and the poor, says the joint statement.

The international community should formulate a comprehensive economic and trade regime acceptable to all, through negotiation on an equal footing. Pressure and sanctions should not be used to force a country into unilaterally making economic concessions, it says.

It also calls for respect for the history and traditions of those countries with diverse ethnic groups and their efforts to maintain national unity. Attempts to encourage secession or inciteethnic hatred within a country should not be accepted.

Diversity in cultures and civilizations should not be the source of conflict, but rather resources from which all countries can learn.

Different historic backgrounds, cultures, social and political systems, values and modes of development should not be used as pretext for interference in other countries’ internal affairs, says the document.

The Chinese president arrived in Moscow Thursday for a state visit, the first leg of his three-nation tour, which will also take him to Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom.

In Kazakhstan, he will attend a Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. Then he will fly to Scotland for an informal meeting between leaders of the Group of Eight industrialized countries and five developing nations — China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Mexico. Enditem

  • This is why China and Russia do so much better in opinion polls conducted around the world. This is why so many people rank them much better than the US. In fact, I so agree with the opinions of the people in Europe and the majority of the world opinion according to Pew, that I think, we should pull all our troops out of all those places that like China and Russia much better than the US. Pull our US troops out of Europe and get rid of NATO. Pull our troops out of South Korea. All those countries can tend to their own security and army, they are rich enough. If not, they can ask the Chinese and the Russians to establish bases in their countries. As for all the horrible things that are happening in Darfur, let the UN and Europe take a leadership position since they have been so critical. Maybe they can resolve these issues in the same fashion that they have resolved Kosovo. Since no one is complaining, I’m assuming they like the way the UN runs things. Overlook the UN-sponsored child pornography in the Congo and UN-sponsored brothels where peacekeepers make whores out of local women. That seems to be okay with the rest of the world.

    And the US will continue to act work with the countries that want to work with us. Israel, India, Philippines, Australia, maybe Poland. Bush should work with this core group and start from there. It really is a whole new world order.

    • You got it: Ami go home. But guess what they are more like the former Sowjet forces once invited by the people it is hard to get rid of American forces.
      Moreover to close the NATO would take this ridiculous military burden in Europe. But what are you going to do with this homeless and looting military American hordes. Do you think your job market can host all of them? We don’t think so! America has moved far away from it’s place it inherited once in 1970.
      Now the working poor are quite common and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening enough
      that even with all this religious weirdos, people think of having a revolution to overthrow the empire.

      And gee, your president is such a dumb ass! Nobody understand nobody around the world could imagine voting for such a mental institution creature.

    • You are obviously clueless. Rumsfled has been eliminating bases and reducing the number of soldiers. Meanwhile the towns that have been hosting these bases are crying because of the loss of jobs these reductions and eliminations will cause. And don’t worry about our soldiers. There’s enough work for them at home. Our economy continues to grow. Meanwhile you europeans have been stagnating and suffering high unemployment. Furthermore, in 50 years time, you will all be dhimmis. Farewell SUCKER!

    • RumsAndCoke couldn’t do anything except perhaps make another baseless statement through his worthless exhalation orfice a routine in which he forms lies and psychotic mentally ill statements that come out sounding all lot like his bosses words, GravefillingWarboy and mindControlDICK, a set of action figures that you can play WAR with. And soildering is NOT a job. It is a way for elitists to have an excuse to KILL other human beings for FUN and profit. War is only a job for the slaves of the elitist, they never go to WAR. They get the military corporation contracts and send propaganda believing idoits that are clueless like you to die in them. Our economy is owned by the Chinese. Every product we use and most things we purchase are make their. We are living in a proped up economy that is waiting for the right time to crash. Without hi-tech and well paid expanding base of peace oriented jobs, any growth in the economy is just military corporation profits that come from the sales of weapons to the US taxpayer, and he is a shrinking group, thus our real economy is very weak, speaking fundementals which would be utilites, industry, and agriculture. The first 2 are almost all foriegn based and the third is taken over by corporations. So how is that an expansion if you believe the lies of the inflated stock market and earnings return statements.

      And oh yes, I hope this gives you a CLUE-less.

      Things that are possiby a better use of your carbon based brain would be...
      – working to free minds from the Matrix of BUllSHit brain vomit backed by the mindless banking class
      – remember to vote for your favorite liar and mind control propganda puppet
      – and oh yes "the insergency is in its last throws — and by the way it will be a protracted unspecified engangement - is that another brilliant oxy moronic invention of the US rubber-stamp department, another really good one is
      "military intelligence" - that one is really great the people that created it are so intelligent that the only thing they think about is a better why to marginalize humanity and human relationships. Thats why they carry guns into the countrys that they invade, its a job requirement when you are going to us lies as your basis for action. You know when your child disobeys you should apply military intelligence just like you do to the children of Iraqi people. Your not only clueless your worthless and perhaps recycling would be a good option for the brain vomit that flies out of that hole in your head, when you exhale that BUllSHit.

      – >plant facts in your head so the thoughts you grow will be true and your decisions will be factual, and thus you will be free from living in ignorance.

      And the only real suckers are those that practice the favorite past time of elitist. Ignorance on DRUGS.

    • The contrasts between logical and factual argument and Leftist-Socialist-Maxist ideology and propagandizing rant in the above is oh so clear. God Bless the U.N. - BwaHAHAhahaha... [fade to erie silence].
