NAIROBI -- Chinese President Hu Jintao met here Friday with the United
Nations Human Settlement Program (UN-HABITAT) Executive Director Mrs.
Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)
acting Executive Director Shafqat Kakakhel.
Hu said the UN-HABITAT has made positive efforts to promote human
residence construction and global sustainable development.
He said the UNEP has played an important role in pushing for the solution
of global environmental issues, promoting international cooperation in
this regard, and helping developing countries improve environmental
protection capability.
He said China has always supported international cooperation in the
above-mentioned fields, and will further strengthen exchanges and
cooperation with the two UN programs and continue to support their work.
Tibaijuka said China has many beneficial experiences in human habitat
development, which the UN-HABITAT is popularizing in other areas of the
world.
The UN-HABITAT values China's assistance to the African people in this
regard, she said.
Kakakhel said the UNEP appreciates China's attention to and efforts for
environmental protection.
He said China has always firmly supported the UNEP's work, and the
cooperation between the two sides has progressed steadily at bilateral,
regional and global levels.
The UNEP is expecting to deepen cooperation with the Chinese side to
jointly meet the challenge in this regard, he said.
Hu arrived here Thursday on a three-day state visit to Kenya as Kenyan
President Mwai Kibaki's guest.
Kenya is the last leg of Hu's five-nation tour which has already taken
him to the United States, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Nigeria.
