BEIJING, SEPTEMBER 27, ARMENPRESS: Talks between Armenia’s president
Robert Kocharian and China’s president Hu Zintao ended today by signing
a joint declaration, by which Armenia recognizes China’s territorial
integrity. “Armenia recognizes the government of the People’s Republic
of China as the lawful representative of all China and Taiwan as an
integral part of China,” the declaration runs.
It also says that Armenia shall not establish official relations
with Taiwan and will not seek such contacts. “Armenia is against the
attempts to create two Chinas,” it says.
Kocharian arrived in Beijing Sunday evening, starting his five-day
state visit to China at the invitation of Chinese President
Hu Jintao. It’s the first state visit to China by Kocharian as
president. Kocharian will hold talks and meet with Chinese top leaders
during his stay in China’s capital. Besides Beijing, he will also
visit China’s financial hub Shanghai.
