BEIJING, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) — Leaders from the Communist Party
of China(CPC) and the Prosperous Armenia of Armenia pledged to
promote contacts based on principles of independence, equality and
non-interference in each other’s internal affairs on Monday.

Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and Gagik Tsarukyan, president
of the Prosperous Armenia agreed to learn from each other to cement
the relations between the two countries during a meeting at the Great
Hall of the People.
Li said Sino-Armenia relations had developed smoothly and cooperation
in the fields of trade, education, science and agriculture had been
fruitful since the two countries forged diplomatic ties in 1992.
He expressed appreciation of Armenia’s adherence to the one-China
policy, saying China valued ties with Armenia and would upgrade the
bilateral ties to benefit the two peoples.
Tsarukyan echoed that his party would strengthen cooperation with
the CPC to further relations between Armenia and China.

and now is the second largest political party in parliament.
Tsarukyan and his party are visiting China at the invitation of the
International Department of the CPC Central Committee.
