Iceland President Olafur R. Grimsson and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao discussed cooperation in human rights during an hour-long meeting on the first day of Wen’s two-day visit to the north Atlantic island.
“I didn’t discuss the matter of Bo Xilai in particular with him as I didn’t want to discuss specific individuals,” Grimsson said in an interview outside his residence at Bessastadir. “We did have in-depth discussions about human rights and the possibility of cooperation between China and Iceland in that field, where China could utilize Iceland’s experience and knowledge in the field of human rights.”
