The presidents of China and Lithuania agreed on Tuesday to
further enhance economic and trade cooperation.
"The Chinese government encourages its entrepreneurs to invest
in Lithuania and also welcomes Lithuanian business in China,"
President Hu Jintao told Lithuanian counterpart Valdas Adamkus in
their talks held in Beijing.
Hu also vowed to make full use of the economic and trade
committee between the two countries to explore new measures for
further cooperation.
Adamkus said the agreements signed between the two countries
paved the way for economic and trade cooperation, and he hoped the
cooperation would be stepped up.
Adamkus arrived in Shanghai on Sunday for a five-day state visit
to China with economic and trade cooperation at the top of his
agenda. He attended trade seminars in Beijing and Shanghai.
His visit coincides with the 15th anniversary of the
establishment of the Sino-Lithuanian relations. He voiced his hope
to promote cooperation with China in cultural and scientific fields
and environmental protection.
He reaffirmed that Lithuania would adhere to the one-China
policy.
The two presidents agreed to strengthen coordination in
international affairs.
