BEIJING, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- China and Norway issued a statement in Beijing on Monday on normalization of ties.
"The Norwegian side is fully conscious of the position and concerns of the Chinese side and has worked actively to bring bilateral relations back on track," said the statement.
China-Norway relations deteriorated since the Oslo-based Nobel Committee conferred the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize on convicted Chinese criminal Liu Xiaobo. Liu was sentenced to 11 years in jail on Dec. 25, 2009, after a court in Beijing convicted him of engaging in activities designed to overthrow the government.
"Through numerous, meticulous conversations, the two sides have reached a level of trust that allows for resumption of normal relations," said the statement.
The Norwegian government will not support any action that undermines China's core interests and major concerns, and will do its best to avoid any future damage to China-Norway relations, said the statement.
According to the statement, the Norwegian government reiterates its commitment to the one-China policy, fully respects China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and attaches high importance to China's core interests and major concerns.
Both sides agreed to boost cooperation in various areas including trade, culture, education and polar region, and cement consultation on global issues.
In his meeting with visiting Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende on Monday, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said the two countries' foreign ministers had candid and in-depth talks, and reached an agreement on the normalization of bilateral ties.
