China, Australia positive about cooperating in peaceful use of nuclear energy, says spokesman

BEIJING, March 14 (Xinhua) -- China and Australia are keen to cooperate with each other in the peaceful use of nuclear energy on the basis of equality and reciprocity, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said here Tuesday.

Qin said that Sino-Australian cooperation is in the interests of both sides and conducive to furthering friendly, cooperative bilateral relations.
