Turkey formally announces nuclear energy agreement with China
ANKARA: Turkey published in its official gazette a deal with China for cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy on Friday, a step needed to open the way for China to potentially build Turkey's third nuclear power plant.
- Posted02 Sep 2016 21:20
The deal was originally signed in 2012 but such international agreements only go into effect in Turkey once they are published in the gazette.
Russia is building Turkey's first nuclear plant, while a Japanese-French consortium will build its second in the north. China is among countries interested in building a third plant.

President Xi meets Turkish counterpart
HANGZHOU， Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and Turkish leaders on Saturday agreed to advance cooperation in fields of counter-terrorism， energy and infrastructure during a meeting ahead of the G20 Hangzhou summit.
In the meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan， President Xi Jinping said China appreciates Turkey's affirmation that it will never allow any activities that could undermine China's security to take place on Turkish soil.
He called on both sides to adhere to the core issue of political mutual trust， and to achieve more substantial results on anti-terrorism and security cooperation
Both should consider concrete means and projects to link China-proposed Belt and Road initiative with Turkey's development strategy， to achieve substantial progress in cooperation in infrastructure， energy， quarantine and other fields， Xi said.
Erdogan appreciated China's support for Turkey to maintain its national security and social stability. He expressed hopes that the two countries could increase collaboration in investment， energy， infrastructure， aviation， agriculture， tourism and counter-terrorism.
Xi said China is willing to work with Turkey， last year's host of the G20 summit in Antalya， to propel the G20 to play a bigger role in global economic governance.
He noted the good communication Turkey maintained with Chinese authorities on the preparation for the upcoming Hangzhou summit.
Thanks to concerted efforts from both sides， many consensus reached between the two presidents to advance Sino-Turkish ties have been， or are in the process of being implemented， producing gratifying results， Xi said.
Noting that this year marks the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries， Xi said China is willing to work with Turkey to advance their strategic partnership， and holds high expectations for the future of Sino-Turkish ties.
A series of cooperation agreements in energy， inspection and quarantine and other fields were signed after the meeting.
Erdogan is in Hangzhou for the 11th summit of Group of 20 major economies scheduled on Sunday and Monday.

Take away all the photo ops, hand shakes and smiles.
What do these guys expect to achieve in the G20?
Once they agreed that developing countries will get a greater share of IMF voting rights. That still hasn't happened.
There are so many rivalries within the G20, that nothing will get achieved. Everyone will look after their own interests.

Theresa May flies to China for first G20 summit as PM
Image copyrightGETTY IMAGES
Theresa May will travel to the G20 summit in China later for her first international conference since she became prime minister.
In her talks with other world leaders she is expected to tell them the UK is "open for business" following the referendum vote to leave the EU.
Mrs May will have a one-to-one meeting with US President Barack Obama.
Chinese President Xi Jinping will also meet with her but no announcement on the Hinkley Point project is expected.
In July it was announcedthat the government would postpone a decision on whether to build Hinkley Point - the first new UK nuclear plant in 20 years - until the early autumn. The French energy giant EDF, with support from state-owned China General Nuclear, had expected to build the £18bn plant.
Mrs May is due to have a meeting with President Xi on Monday after the two-day G20 summit, which is made up of leaders of the world's 20 major economies.
'Dependable Britain'
BBC diplomatic correspondent James Landale said Mrs May's meeting with President Xi "could prove the most important".
On Hinkley Point he added: "Her Chinese hosts have invested billions in this and are pushing hard for a positive decision. It is a judgement call that will show how open and dependable Britain really is," he added.

The newly appointed president of Brazil, Temel, arrived in Hangzhou in September 2nd. He went to the department store to buy a pair of shoes.

´This is our country!´ says Chinese official as Obama lands
Home / World / ´This is our country!´ says Chinese official as Obama lands

HANGZHOU: When US President Barack Obama arrived in China Saturday for his final trip to Asia as commander in chief, the ceremonial niceties were marred by an undiplomatic shouting incident on the tarmac.
Chinese authorities have imposed extremely tight security precautions for the G20 summit, and not even US National Security Adviser Susan Rice and the White House press corps proved exempt when Air Force One landed in host city Hangzhou.
As usual when Obama travels, the reporters accompanying him were brought under the wing of the Boeing 747 to watch him come down the aircraft stairs, penned off behind a blue rope installed by Chinese security.
But that was not far away enough for the Chinese personnel, one of whom screamed at White House staff, demanding the US press leave the scene.
A female White House official, handbag over her arm, told him that it was an American plane and the US president.
"This is our country!" the Chinese official, in a dark suit, shouted at her in English. "This is our airport!"
When US National Security Adviser Susan Rice and senior White House staffer Ben Rhodes tried to get closer to the president, lifting up the blue rope and walking under it, the official turned his ire on Rice, trying to block her progress.
As they exchanged angry words her Secret Service agent stepped in to usher her past him.
Moments afterwards the US president´s motorcade was rolling away, towards a city of nine million people that has been denuded of around a quarter of its population for the event.
Factories have been closed to ensure blue skies, potential troublemakers detained, and the wide boulevards of a city lauded by Venetian traveller Marco Polo are empty.
"They did things that weren´t anticipated," Rice told reporters later.
