France signs partnership accord with China
BEIJING, May 17: France on Friday signed a landmark "global partnership" accord with China but also threw down the gauntlet over human rights by demanding the release of 17 dissidents, reports AFP.
President Jacques Chirac signed the declaration mapping out a vision of a new world order after talks here with President Jiang Zemin, who described the pact as an "historic document."
Chirac also meet Chinese Premier Li Peng who said the French president and Jiang had opened a new chapter in Sino-French relations, the Xinhua news agency said.
The accord was "of far-reaching significance for promoting the trend of multi-polarisation of the world and the formation of a new international pattern." Xinhua reported Li as saying.
For China, its most sought-after achievement was Chirac's clear statement in the document that human rights, although a universal principle, are dependent on national circumstances.
But there was a sting in the tail later when Chirac revealed his Foreign Minister Herve de Charette had submitted a list of 17 Chinese and Tibetan dissidents to counterpart Qian Qichen.
"This was done verbally and in writing," said Chirac, the first French president to visit China for 14 years.
For France, the major
achievement of the document was the promise of more economic cooperation in aviation, space exploration and nuclear P "France and China have decided to reinforce their industrial and commercial partnership in the aircraft and space sector," the document said.
"China is in favour of the continuation of the participation of French industrialists in the Chinese nuclear development programme," it added.
Chirac and Jiang witnessed the signing Thursday of aviation contracts worth 1.7 billion dollars, which Included a Chi-
nese order for 30 European Airbuses.
But sensitivities over human rights continued to plague the meeting, with China's Foreign Ministry categorically denying any discussion in the Jiang-Chirac meeting, while French sources said Chirac had urged China to begin talks with the Vatican and with the Dalal Lama on the future of Tibet.
Beijing, which considers the Dalai Lama a top public enemy, has said it will not consider talks with the spiritual leader until he ceases his alleged separatist activities.
