(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-03-13 16:25 The minister hoped that the US sticks to its relevant commitments, handle Taiwan-related issues prudently and properly, and support the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. Obama said the US is firmly committed to the one-China policy and abides by the three joint communiques between the two countries.
During the meeting, Yang also reiterated the principled position of the Chinese government on Tibet-related issues, stressing that the conflict between the Chinese government and the Dalai Lama essentially concerns an issue of important principle -- whether to safeguard national unity or split the motherland. Touching on the situation in the Korean Peninsula, Yang said it is in the interests of all parties concerned to achieve the goal of a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula and safeguard peace and stability both in the peninsula and across the Northeastern Asian region. He hoped all parties concerned keep calm, show restraint, have helpful exchanges and contacts, and work together to make new progress through the Six-Party talks. Obama expressed appreciation for the important role China has played in the Six-Party talks. He said the US will continue to work with China and other partners in the process to achieve the goal of a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula in a verifiable manner. Obama and Yang also exchanged views on other international and regional issues, including Darfur in Sudan and the situation in South Asia. Also present at the meeting were US Vice President Joseph Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Presidential National Security Adviser James Jones.
