III. Exchanges and Cooperation
in the Fields of Science and Technology, Culture, Education
and Military
Since the 1980s China and Norway have signed several agreements
on cooperation in science & technology and environmental
protection, as well as the Memorandum of Understanding between
the Government of China and Norway on Protection of Intellectual
Properties. The two countries signed a cultural agreement
in 1963, which was the first one of its kind between China
and Western Countries. Programs for cultural and educational
exchanges have also been made since the 1980s. In November
1998, China and Norway signed the Program for Cultural and
Educational Cooperation for 1999-2003. Up to the end of 2000,
there were 661 Chinese students studying or engaged in ad vanced
studies in Norway and 86 Norwegian students studying in China
on state scholarship.
Military contacts between the two countries started in the
1980s. In 1984, General Sven Hauge, the Norwegian Chief of
Defense, visited China, and Xu Xin, Deputy Chief of the General
Staff of the PLA, headed a Chinese military delegation to
Norway. This was the first time that military leaders from
the two countries exchanged visits. In April 2002, General
Chi Haotian, Vice-Chairman of the Central Military Commission,
State Councilor and Minister of National Defense, visited
Norway. |
