Hello all,

the attached Press Release was not widely publicised - and appears to not
have been picked up by western media... yet
The event took place last Saturday, as related here by the official news
agency: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2016-06/26/c_135466187.htm

The text of the declaration is attached. For those of you who do not read
Chinese, I am including a Google translation of the text below. Please pay
particular attention to the red text. I gather that since it is undersigned
by the presidents of two countries, it needs to be taken rather seriously.
Best,

Olivier
