Chinese Premier Li Peng today [5th October] expressed satisfaction with the smooth implementation process of the Sino-Portuguese joint declaration on the Macao issue.
Since the signing of the joint declaration, both sides have adopted a serious attitude, Li Peng said during a meeting with Macao Governor Carlos M. Melancia. He also expressed satisfaction with the smooth development of Sino-Portuguese relations.
The Macao issue serves as a link between Portugal and China, Li said. He hoped the two sides will make new efforts for further implementing the joint declaration, so as to promote the overall development of bilateral relations in various fields including politics, economics and culture. Li said he expected the implementation of the joint declaration to become a model in the practice of “one country, two systems" and one for solving problems left over from history between nations on the basis of the five principles of peaceful co- existence.
Li expressed appreciation of the Portuguese government's prudent attitude towards China's quelling of the counter- revolutionary rebellion. “History will prove you have been wise to do so," he told Melancia.
Melancia said the Portuguese government handles its relations with China with a responsible attitude and according to the principle of mutual respect in handling international relations. He said the Portuguese government will, as always, strictly abide by the Sino-Portuguese Joint Declaration on the Macao issue.
