Hu, Putin to sign world order declaration

MOSCOW: Chinese President Hu Jintao on Thursday arrived in Russia on a four-day official visit on the invitation of President Vladimir Putin, scheduled for June 30-July 3.

After their talks on Friday in the Kremlin, Mr. Hu and Mr. Putin will sign a joint declaration on the world order in the 21st century, a Kremlin spokesman said.

``This is an important document, which shows the common, fundamental views of Russia and China on key issues of the modern world order and reflects their common vision of the development of humanity,'' the spokesman stressed.

"Just, balanced world"

He added that the declaration would reaffirm the commitment of the two countries to promote the emergence of a just and balanced world order based on the supremacy of international law, multilateral approaches, equality, mutual respect and an increased role of United Nations in world affairs. ``Russia and China will declare in one voice that claiming a monopoly in global affairs, dividing countries into those who lead and those who are led, imposing public development models on countries and using double standards are unacceptable,'' he said.

He said that the declaration will make a significant appeal to the world community to make joint efforts to ``create a new security architecture and adopt a global strategy'' under the aegis of the U.N. for countering new challenges and threats. — UNI
