The problem of Taiwan is reflected in the joint declaration which was
signed today by Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and Chairman of
the People’s Republic of China Hu Jintao in Beijing.

A special correspondent of Mediamax reports from Beijing that the
declaration says: “The Armenian side confirms that the government
of the People’s Republic of China is the only legal government that
represents the whole of China and Taiwan is an integral part of
Chinese territory.

“The Armenian side confirms its commitment not to establish official
relations with Taiwan in any form and not to maintain official contact
with it, acting against attempts to create ‘two Chinas’ or ‘one
Taiwan’, as well as against the ‘independence of Taiwan’ in any form.

“The Chinese side highly rates this position of the Armenian side.”
