ˇˇˇˇBEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- China will continue to actively participate in
and promote international anti-terrorism cooperation, Chinese Foreign Ministry
Kong Quan said Thursday.
ˇˇˇˇKong said at the ministry's regular press conference that China has been one
of the victims of terrorism, which is a public disaster for the international
community. So the Chinese government has always firmly opposed terrorism in any
form.
ˇˇˇˇThe Chinese government has adopted a series of measures to fight terrorism
after the Sept. 11 Incident, Kong said.
ˇˇˇˇIn the multi-lateral field, China has participated in and promoted the
United Nations General Assembly and Security Council to adopt resolutions
against terrorism.
ˇˇˇˇIn the bilateral area, China has formed a consultation mechanism with quite a
few countries, including the United States, Britain, Russia, France, India and
Pakistan.
ˇˇˇˇDomestically, China has taken measures to fight and prevent terrorism in
many areas such as finance, law enforcement, civil aviation safety and border
entry and exit, the spokesman said.
ˇˇˇˇThe Chinese government will continue to strengthen international
cooperation and learn from other countries in the fight against terrorism.
ˇˇˇˇRemarkable progresses have been made by various countries in anti-terrorism cooperation
over the past year, but "there is still a long way to go," Kong said.
ˇˇˇˇThe international community should enhance cooperation and makea
comprehensive strategy based on the UN Charter to root out terrorism.
ˇˇˇˇMeanwhile, terrorism should not be linked with specific
states,nationalities or religions, he said. Enditem
