China and the US, at the governmental level, share almost the
same stance on the Darfur issue, China's special representative for
Darfur said on Tuesday.
"The US government appreciates the positive efforts made by the
Chinese government on the settlement of the Darfur issue and has
also given us an appropriate remark," Liu Guijin, who has just
ended a visit to Washington, told reporters at the UN
Headquarters.
It is only on some specific issues that the two sides have
different perspectives and have some differences in viewing the
priorities, he said.
"But indeed we have very good communication and cooperation," he
stressed.
The US congressional leaders he had met during the visit still
had some misunderstanding about the Chinese policy and efforts, but
they also recognized and acknowledged China's unique role played in
the Darfur issue and hoped that China can do even more, Liu
added.
"Through this type of candid dialogue and communication ... I
think we also will enhance our mutual understanding," Liu said.
