Q: The European Council of Foreign Ministers said
that it would not co-table an anti-China draft resolution
with the United States in the UN Human Rights Commission
Session this year. What is your comment?
A:
The European Council of Foreign Ministers made a decision on
March 19th that it would not join the United States in
tabling anti-China draft resolution in the UN Human Rights
Commission Session this year. The Chinese Government
expresses its welcome towards this. The decision made by the
European Union is conducive to the dialogue and exchange in
the field of human rights between China and the European
Union and to the further development of the bilateral
relations between China and the member states of the
European Union. Meanwhile we hope the European Union can
evaluate the human rights situation in China in an objective
and impartial manner and adopt more positive and
constructive position in the UN Human Rights Commission Session
