BEIJING, November 6 (Itar-Tass) - A book of historical records of the
Soviet-Chinese relations in 1949-1951 was presented at the Russian embassy
in China earlier this week.
This book is the result of years-long cooperation between the History
and Records Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry and the Bureau of
Archives of China's Foreign Ministry.
"The two countries' specialists did a time- and effort-consuming job,"
said Yevgeny Tomikhin, an advisor of the Russian embassy in China. "We
would like to point to a good level of cooperation and mutual
understanding and constructive approaches to this work. Moreover,
publication of this book has once again demonstrated a high level of the
Russian-Chinese relations."
"The book has already received high appreciation of the Russian
authorities, which gives us confidence that work in this important
direction will be continued," he said.
"Summing up the results of the work on the book that had taken almost
five years I want to note that it exposed growing mutual understanding and
mutual support for joint projects," said Konstantin Provalov, the director
of the Russian Foreign Ministry's History and Records Department .
"Publication of this book is another step towards creating a documentary
base of the two countries' relations open to the public at large."
"This is a comprehensive illustration of the process of development of
relations between the Soviet Union and China from October 1, 1949, to
December 31, 1951," said Guo Chongli, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's chief
archivist.
The book includes 129 documents, including many declassified ones,
demonstrating the two countries' relations during this period. It contains extracts from correspondence between the leaders of the Soviet Union and China, bilateral documents and agreements.
The book is illustrated with unique photo documents, including photocopies of credential letters of new China's first ambassador to the Soviet Union, Wang Jiaxiang.
The second volume of the historical records embracing the period of 1952-1955 is expected to be published in 2013.
