"Croatia wants further cooperation with China in all fields,"
Pavletic said after the meeting. #L#
Beside political cooperation, Croatia and China also had
a strong economic relationship, Pavletic said, adding that with the
present 680 million dollars-worth trade, Croatia was China's third
economic partner.
Pavletic thanked China for being one of the first countries to
have recognized the independent Croatia in its internationally
recognized borders and for its support in Croatia's most difficult
moments.
Like China, Croatia wanted to resolve all problems with
neighbouring countries, even former adversaries, in a peaceful,
diplomatic way, which had been proved by its normalization of
relations with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, so that it could
peacefully reintegrate all its parts into its constitutional and
legal system, Pavletic said.
He announced further strengthening of the, so far, good
cultural cooperation between the two countries.
Pavletic extended an invitation to Shie to visit Croatia next
year.
