5-point plan pushes Iraq stability ( 2003-08-08 09:06) (China Daily)
Chinese State Councillor Tang Jiaxuan put forth a five-point proposal Friday
on the reconstruction of post-war Iraq while meeting with visiting Jalal
Al-Talabani, a member of the leadership of the Iraqi Governing Council and
chairman of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK).
Tang said that the most pressing task at present is to restore Iraq's
stability and normal order.
Secondly, the final settlement of the Iraqi issue should rely on the Iraqi
people. A new Iraqi Government should be established as soon as possible and
should have universal representation. The political will and choices of the
Iraqi people should be fully respected.
Thirdly, effective UN participation will be conducive to the proper
settlement of the Iraqi issue.
Fourthly, the legitimate interests of various countries in Iraq should be
guaranteed.
Lastly, the Chinese Government attaches great importance to and is ready to
take a positive role in the economic reconstruction of post-war
Iraq.
