China appreciates Norway's adherence to the one-China policy and
will make joint efforts with Norway to advice bilateral relations,

Stoere said Norway hopes to promote bilateral economic and trade
ties through Free Trade Area negotiation and taking part in the
Shanghai World Expo.
Norway also seeks to step up cooperation with China in the areas
of climate change, environmental protection and sustainable
development, Stoere added.

invitation of Yang.
