    China and Arab countries on Friday (January 30, 2004) set
    up a China-Arab states cooperation forum, announced by
    Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Secretary-General
    of the Arab League Amr Moussa, at the Arab League
    headquarters in Cairo.

    Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is currently on a
    state visit to Egypt, held a meeting with Moussa and Arab
    state representatives exchanging views on ways of
    strengthening and developing China-Arab relations under new
    circumstances.

    "We also decided our policy according to United Nations
    and the five principal of peaceful coexistence," Li said at
    a press conference on Friday.

    Li pointed out that the establishment of the forum is
    the result of joint efforts by China and Arab states and
    marks a milestone in the history of friendly and
    cooperative relations between the countries.

    "We will start announcement for Chinese-Egyptian
    assembly to take action today in economic, cultural,
    growing and international policies," Moussa added.

    The main principles behind the forum are to promote
    political relations on the basis of mutual respect, to
    forge closer trade and economic links so as to achieve
    common development, to expand cultural exchanges through
    drawing upon each other's experience, and to strengthen
    cooperation in international affairs with the aim of
    safeguarding world peace and promoting common development.

    Later on Friday Hu took some time out from meetings to
    embark on a tour of the ancient Egyptian pyramids on the
    outskirts of the capital. Hu spent the afternoon climbing
    the giant structures as his entourage eagerly took
    photographs of the ancient sites.
