"We should make greater contribution to promoting world peace, stability and development."
Responding doubts about China's foreign policy in Africa, the minister said China-African cooperation is mutually beneficial. He refuted speculations that China's relations with Africa are 'energy- or wealth-oriented'. "You could ask those African countries that have no oil or natural gas, would they evaluate China higher or other countries higher," he said. The two sides' cooperation in the energy industry helped African countries translate their resources into economic advancements, according to Yang. The two sides should continue it, he added. On the Darfur issue, Yang urged all parties concerned should make positive contributions to facilitate the solution instead of doing the opposite. China hopes to see an early solution to the Darfur issue through dialogue and peace talks. China-Japan Food Safety Cooperation Talking about last year's tainted dumpling case, Yang called for the launch of a long-term cooperation mechanism on food safety between China and Japan, saying China took food safety issue very seriously. Ten Japanese suffered stomachaches and vomiting last January after consuming frozen dumplings made in China, reportedly tainted by pesticide residue. A probe last February indicated that the poisoning is an individual, deliberate incident only. The Chinese side is determined to continue the investigation until the case is resolved, Yang said, adding that the Japanese side's cooperation is important. Other Highlights of the Press Conference include: Six-party Talks on Korean Nuclear Issue Minister Yang urged concerted efforts to advance the six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, saying the most important task now was to advance the talks to a new phase. "The important thing is that all parties should act according to the agreement made on September 19, 2005, and join hands to fulfill the second phase action plan at an early date, and advance the talks to the third phase." Yang also noted that China is following the development after Pyongyang announced the test fire of a communication satellite. "We express our concern ... We hope that all parties will do more things that are helpful," said he. FTA Talks with ROK The minister said that Beijing and Seoul should start negotiations on launching Free Trade Area as early as possible. A further expansion of the bilateral market would be helpful to boosting Asia's confidence in combating the global financial crisis. China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) should set an example of opposing protectionism on trade and investment. Beijing to Help HK, Macao through Crisis With strong support from the central government, people in Hong Kong and Macao will succeed in combating against the financial crisis, Yang claimed. He said his ministry is committed to supporting the regions in their multilateral exchanges in the combat against the financial crisis. Xinhua contributed to the story
