Ambassador Li Hui said during the opening ceremony that the China-Russia strategic partnership of cooperation has reached an unprecedented high level, effectively safeguarding the common interests of the two friendly neighbors. The opening of the consulate general in Yekaterinburg conforms with the strong desire cherished by the two peoples to enhance exchanges and cooperation and reflects the demand coming along with the rapid development of bilateral ties, Li added. The opening, which coincides with the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 60th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations between China and Russia, is a special gift for the two occasions, Li said. Edward Rossel, governor of the Sverdlovsk region where Yekaterinburg is located, congratulated China on the opening of the consulate general. He said the opening was an important event for bilateral ties and that the facility will play a critical role in broadening trade and economic cooperation. The consulate general in Yekaterinburg will cover such federal regions such as Chelyabinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Sverdlovsk and Tyumen.

The files include referendums, reports, recorded conversations, telegrams, notes, memoirs and documents signed by state and Party leaders. Ministry curator of archives Guo Chongli said the declassified dossiers mainly reflected China's principles and positions in bilateral and multilateral diplomatic fields as well as exchanges with other countries. They contain records of major diplomatic events, including Zhou Enlai's visit to 14 Asian and African nations, the forging of diplomatic ties with Asian and African countries including Laos and Kenya, the settlements of border issues with neighboring countries, the establishment of diplomatic ties with France, the evolution of relations between China and the Soviet Union and the Sino-U.S. ambassadorial talks (rounds 103 to 128). Under the Archives Law of the People's Republic of China and other regulations, the Foreign Ministry has released about 41,000 archives in the first two batches since 2004 to about 3,400 users, including about 700 foreign users. "The Foreign Ministry will try its best to complete declassification of the archives from between 1965 to 1977 in the next three years," said Guo. "After that we will declassify the archives on a yearly basis." (Xinhua) China issues first Latin American policy paper, eyes closer ties.
