Today I met with the Chinese Ambassador, Mr. Zeng Jixin. We discussed the historical bilateral relations, and the visit of His Excellency President Mahmoud Abbas last month to the Republic of China was discussed, as it was a successful visit and strengthened the strategic relationship and friendship between the two countries, for which a joint statement was issued, and they decided on an agreement for technical economic cooperation and for paving the infrastructure, as well as the twinning of the municipality of the two cities, Ramallah & Yuhan, and there will be several projects with the Palestine Investment Fund. I also welcomed any political initiative that China might adopt due to the distinguished position that the Republic of China holds because of its relations with all parties. In turn, the Chinese ambassador affirmed China’s firm support for the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people, and stressed the need to achieve national unity.
