Chinese President Jiang Zemin said Monday he believed Hu Jintao, his successor as head of the Communist Party of China (CPC), will soon form good working relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Jiang made the remarks in his talks with Putin Monday morning.

He said the 16th National Congress of the CPC last month had elected a new central committee, or the leading body of the CPC, thus realizing the smooth transition of leadership from the old to the new.

Hu Jintao, the newly elected general-secretary of CPC Central Committee, would soon meet with Putin, Jiang told his Russian counterpart.

He said the closer cooperation between the two leaders would further consolidate and deepen the Sino-Russian strategic partnership of cooperation.

Putin expressed his congratulations on the successful conclusion of the National Congress, saying it was an important event in China's political life as well as in the world political arena.

He said Russia wholeheartedly wished and firmly believed that the lofty goals set in the congress could be realized.

Russia would join with the new Chinese leaders in pushing forward good-neighborly, friendly and cooperative relations, Putin said.
