The Central African Republic (CAR) reaffirmed its one-China policy and supports China's reunification cause, according to the Joint Communique signed by China and the CAR during CAR President Francois Bozize's visit to China.

The communique, signed in Beijing Thursday, says the CAR reaffirms that "there is only one China in the world and the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole

legitimate government representing the whole Chinese people, and Taiwan is an integral part of the Chinese territory."

The CAR president began his visit to China Thursday. Chinese President Hu Jintao talked with him for an hour Thursday. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met with him Friday.

The two sides said in the communique that they are satisfied with the smooth growth of bilateral relations, and decided to strengthen cooperation in political and other areas.

They will also enhance consultation on international matters, and work to establish sustainable, stable, and sound relations.

China appreciates and supports the CAR Government in its efforts to maintain domestic social and political stability and to resume economic development. China calls for more international support for the efforts.

China and the CAR would like to further strengthen cooperation in such fields as agriculture, infrastructure and human resources development, and to promote business cooperation between corporations of the two sides.

The two sides agreed that peace and development remain the main theme of the times. The international society should strengthen consultation and maintain the diversity of the world.
