Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji held talks with his Cameroonian counterpart Peter Mafany Musonge here Friday, praising the deeply-rooted friendship between the two countries.

Since the establishment of Sino-Cameroonian diplomatic relationsin 1971, Zhu said, friendly ties between the two countries have been developing steadily.

"The two countries have maintained close political exchanges andcooperated efficiently in the fields of economy and trade, culture and education and public health," he said.

Both China and Cameroon have the same or similar viewpoints on major international issues, Zhu added.

"China and Cameroon are developing countries. We should support and help each other. China is willing to further strengthen the cooperative Sino-Cameroonian ties in all fields," he stressed.

Referring to economic and trade relations, the Chinese premier said, "The past few years have witnessed fairly great development in bilateral trade," adding there is still a great potential to tap in this regard.

During their talks, Cameroonian Prime Minister Musonge said the Chinese premier's official visit to his country is a major event inthe history of Cameroon and China, which is bound to broaden prospects for traditionally cooperative ties between the two countries.

The Cameroonian government highly appreciates the selfless assistance by the Chinese government over the past years and hopes to expand such friendly cooperation in all areas, Musonge said.

After the talks, the Chinese premier attended a signing ceremony, during which China and Cameroon signed five agreements and documents on economic, trade and technological cooperation. Accompanied by his Cameroonian counterpart, Zhu visited the YaoundeConference Palace, which was built with China's assistance in the late 1970s and early 1980s, covering a total floor space of over 30,000 square meters.

Zhu arrived here Thursday for a three-day official visit. His four-nation trip has taken him to Algeria and Morocco and will carry him on to South Africa, where he will also attend the World Summit on Sustainable Development slated for Sept. 2-4.
