China is ready to work with the international community to
strive for the implementing of the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals, said Chinese Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan in Beijing on Tuesday.
Zeng made the remark in a meeting with Special Adviser to the UN
Secretary-General on the Millennium Development Goals Jeffrey D.
Sachs.
Zeng said China is ready to work with the international
community, especially the United Nations, to keep close contacts
and strengthen cooperation, in a bid to jointly implement the
Millennium Development Goals.
He said that in order to realize the Millennium Development
Goals, the international community has done a lot and made some
achievements.
The Chinese government has actively carried out the five
measures proposed by Chinese President Hu Jintao at the summit last year marking the
60th anniversary of the United Nations, he said, adding China also
hopes the international community will in earnest implement the
achievements made during the summit.
Zeng said China wishes international community will establish an
equal, reasonable and effective evaluation framework for the
Millennium Development Goals and supervise and promote the
implementation of international cooperation and development aid
commitments.
The two sides also exchanged views on other issues of common
concern, such as the current macro-economic situation, work of the
aid-the-poor program and renewable energy.
