Visiting Chinese leader Li Ruihuan, at a meeting with Slovenian President Milan Kucan Tuesday in Ljubljana, said that the experience of both China and Slovenia indicate that social stability is essential for rapid economic development.

Li, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is in Slovenia on the second leg of an official four-nation tour of Europe.

Slovenia has maintained notable growth of the national economy and has become a mid-level developed country thanks to its stable social conditions free from various disruptions, Li said, noting that China also puts social stability at top of all priorities in the past two decades of reform and opening up, which has contributed to the dramatic change of its national landscape.

Li said that China is satisfied with the smooth development of bilateral ties with Slovenia and both countries should continue their mutual beneficial cooperation and exchanges under the principles of mutual respect and coordination, instead of confrontation.

Speaking on the same occasion, Kucan spoke highly of China achievements in reform, economic construction and social development. He said he agrees with Li on many view points relating to economic development and bilateral ties.

Li also met with Borut Pahor, chairman of the Slovenia National Assembly, Tuesday.
