3、 and Prime Minister Tony Blair today welcome the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and the UK, and pledge to work together to develop this partnership to benefit our countries and to help create a safer, more prosperous and open world. We share a common interest in Britain and China
4、working together on bilateral, multilateral and global issues. We see the relationship between our two countries as among our top international priorities. Chinas sustained economic growth and development, and increasing role as a global economic power has enabled the partnership to grow significant
5、ly in stature in recent years. Links flourish in a huge number of areas, from environment to education, development to science and technology. We agree that co-operation between China and the UK has increased significantly since our last meeting in July 2003. We look forward to continuing high level
6、 dialogue at the China-EU Summits in 2004 and 2005, the latter in Beijing under the UK Presidency of the EU, and also at the summits between us that we have now agreed will take place annually. Following Tony Blairs visit to China last year, we decided to establish Task Forces to facilitate this ste
7、p-change in bilateral relations. These Task Forces have drawn in expertise from all parts of society and have produced new proposals in Trade and Investment, Finance, Energy, Education, Science and Technology, Environment - including Climate Change - and Sustainable Development, and Culture (See Ann
8、ex). We wish to thank Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and State Councillor Tang Jiaxuan, the respective Task Force Chairmen, and the Task Force members for their work. The breadth and depth of China-UK relations are illustrated by the Task Forces proposals and increasing co-operation on a growin

We agree to strengthen our countries bilateral and multilateral co-operation as follows: 1. To consolidate and strengthen t

(iii) The two sides will also increase co-operation in the areas of s

They signed a number of memoranda of understanding during this visit to take forward aspects of this co-operation. (iv)We note the important role that the China-UK Forum has played in bilatera
13、l relations and invite the Forum to consider its future role, in particular in the areas of industry, financial services, science, technology and the environment, in light of the proposals made by the two Task Forces.

We agreed to contin

The UK reaffirms its consistent position on the question of Taiwan as set out in the China/UK Joint Communiqu?of 1972, in which the UK acknowledged the Chinese position that Taiwan is a province of the Peoples Republic of China and recognised the Government
