Zambian President Levy Mwanawasa hailed on Tuesday the newly passed Anti-Secession Law in China, saying Zambia firmly supports China's efforts in safeguarding state sovereignty and territorial integrity.

While meeting with Chinese Counsellor to Zambia ,Zhao Zhanbin, Mwanawasa said he is extremely pleased to see the enactment of the Anti-Secession Law by the National People 's Congress, China's legislature, in Beijing on Monday.

"On behalf of the people and the government of Zambia and indeed myself, I wish to extend our congratulations to this development," he said.

Mwanawasa said Zambia supports the one-China policy and strongly believes that Taiwan is an integral part of China.

Zambia supports any measures aiming to achieve peaceful reunification of Taiwan and the Chinese mainland, he said.

Zhao, for his part, said the law demonstrates China's determination and efforts in safeguarding peace across the Taiwan Straits, in Asia and around the world.
