Australia, China sign uranium trade deal+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)SYDNEY, April 3_(Kyodo) _ Australia and China on Monday signed a deal that paves the way for Beijing to import uranium from Australia for peaceful purposes, including power generation.

The deal was concluded during a four-day visit to Australia by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.

On its website, the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer as saying he has signed two agreements with China's Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing on supplying uranium to China.

The agreements, signed following a meeting between Wen and Prime Minister John Howard, cover nuclear transfer and nuclear cooperation, the newspaper reported.

"These agreements will allow for the supply of Australian uranium to China's nuclear power program, and cooperation in peaceful uses of nuclear technology," Downer was quoted as saying in a statement.
