Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ In a joint declaration, signed Thursday by the Presidents of Mongolia and People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Chinese side expresses a willingness to support Mongolia's goal to join the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) mechanism. China and Mongolia have been consistently pursuing peace-oriented foreign policies and supporting international cooperation aimed at strengthening peace and security, says the document. China is willing to see Mongolia play an active role in East Asian cooperation, and backs its efforts to participate in an appropriate manner in East Asia Summits as well as the trilateral cooperation between China, South Korea and Japan, it says. The two countries agreed to enhance communication and coordination in such multilateral organizations and cooperation mechanisms as the United Nations, the Asia-Europe Meeting, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Greater Tumen Initiative. They will further deepen bilateral contact and coordination on peace, security and development issues in northeast Asia. According to the declaration, Mongolia supports China's efforts to restart the Six-Party Talks, and stands ready to join the cooperation programs within the framework of the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative and the construction of an Asian infrastructure investment bank as a founding member.
