Chinese President Jiang Zemin on Friday expressed greetings to his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame over the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
"On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Rwanda, I wish, on behalf of the Chinese government and people and in my own name, to express my congratulations to you personally and through you to the Rwandan government and people," Jiang said in his congratulatory message.
Although the international situation as well as the domestic situations in China and Rwanda have changed a lot during the past 30 years, the two countries still enjoy mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual trust on the basis of the five principles of peaceful coexistence, Jiang stressed.
Besides, the two countries have also fostered fruitful cooperation in a wide range of areas such as politics, economy, trade, culture and health.
