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 Weapons Convention 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 as their 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 and cooperation, the joint
statement says.
