Chinese, Norwegian FMs talk on closer ties

Yang said the current China-Norway relations develop well with frequent exchanges of high-level visits and sound coordination in international and regional issues.

Bilateral cooperation in economy and trade, climate change, environmental protection, polar studies, culture and education has been deepened, he said.

China appreciates Norway's adherence to the one-China policy and will make joint efforts with Norway to advice bilateral relations, Yang said.

Stoere said Norway hopes to promote bilateral economic and trade ties through Free Trade Area negotiation and taking part in the Shanghai World Expo.

Norway also seeks to step up cooperation with China in the areas of climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development, Stoere added.

Stoere is scheduled to visit China from Jan. 28 to 30, at the invitation of Yang.
