Beijing - The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Mrs Mary Robinson, continued to voice concern over China's human rights record, but praised an agreement yesterday by Beijing to expand dialogue with the UN as "a very significant move."
Following talks with China's Vice Foreign Minister, Mr Wang Guangya, Mrs Robinson signed a memorandum of understanding designed to help China comply with the UN Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Convenant on Political and Civil Rights, that Beijing has signed but has yet to ratify.
