Li Ruihuan, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), met Friday with Bernard Narokobi, speaker of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) National Parliament in Port Moresby.
The leader of China's top advisory body arrived in this capital of PNG Thursday for a four-day official goodwill visit as guest of the PNG government.
Li said that he had a frank conversation in separate meetings with PNG Governor-General Silas Atopare and Prime Minister Mekere Morauta Thursday, and reached extensive consensus.
Both sides agreed that the current relations between China and PNG are very good and there still exists great potential and prospects for this friendly relationship, which both hope to give an overall push, he said.
Li also briefed the PNG speaker on China's political party system.
Narokobi said that the PNG people appreciate China's important role in the international political arena and its achievements in the economic and social development.
Noting that PNG will learn from China's experiences in solving the food and housing problems and in protecting the women's rights, he said he also appreciated the organizing shape of China's political system and that of the CPPCC.
Later Friday, the speaker hosted a reception in Li's honor.
