BEIJING, June 1 (Xinhua) -- China's Foreign Minister
Li Zhaoxing said here Thursday that the Chinese government hopes the peace deal
signed between the Sudanese government and the main rebel faction in Sudan's
western region of Darfur will be implemented soon.
"China appreciates and supports the positive results
achieved by the Sudanese government and people in realizing national
reconciliation," Li told his Sudanese counterpart Lam Akol who is in Beijing for
a five-day visit.
"We hope the relevant peace deal would be implemented
soon so that Sudan can realize full peace and development," Li said.
Early last month, the Sudanese government and the
Sudan Liberation Movement faction led by Minni Arkou Minawi signed a peace
agreement.
Lam Akol said Sudan welcomed the international
community to participate in the economic construction in southern Sudan and the
Darfur region.
He also expressed his hope that Sudan would receive
more international assistance for its peace and development.
Lam Akol has met with China's State Councilor Tang
