China Supports Serbia's Sovereignty, Territorial Integrity

"China supports integrity and cooperation"

  BELGRADE - Chinese Ambassador to Belgrade Wei Jinghua says a number
of Chinese companies are very interested in taking part in
infrastructure projects in Serbia.

  He added that China supported Serbia's sovereignty and territorial
integrity and believed that the issue of Kosovo should be resolved
through negotiations between Serbia and Pristina.

  "China firmly believes that the principle of respecting sovereignty
and territorial integrity is a basic rule of international law that
should be adhered to by all countries," Wei said in an interview
published in the Wednesday issue of Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti.

  "The issue of Kosovo relates to important principles of international
law, and China has therefore decided to submit its written opinion to
the International Court of Justice, outlining its basic position on
this matter," he underscored.

  Asked in what areas China saw Serbia as a partner, Wei said that
exchanges and cooperation in the fields of trade, culture, science,
education and the military were intensifying and yielding new results
on a daily basis.

  "Our relations have a firm foundation and have a bright future, while
enhancing practical cooperation is in the interests of both peoples,"
said the ambassador.

  On the subject of joint projects in Serbia, he said that "the
competent ministries on both sides are currently analyzing the
building of the Zemun-Borca bridge, and looking at modes of
cooperation in other areas. I believe that that bridge is just the
beginning, and I hope that both sides will be able to reach agreement
on related issues as soon as possible," Wei said.
