Chinese top political advisor Jia Qinglin said Thursday that China values highly the development of Sino-Mongolian ties and is willing to work with Mongolia in promoting partnership of good-neighborliness and mutual trust.
While meeting with Mendsaikhan Enkhsaikhan, Deputy Prime Minister of Mongolia, in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi Province, Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), hoped China and Mongolia could work to create a regional atmosphere featuring peace and stability, equality and mutual trust, cooperation and mutual benefit in a bid to bring happiness to the peoples of the region, especially those of Mongolia and China.
Enkhsaikhan is in Xi'an attending the Second Euro-Asia Economic Forum which opened on Thursday morning.
As friendly neighbors, China and Mongolia had a partnership of reciprocal cooperation, said Jia, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
"Political mutual trust has improved day by day, coupled with growing economic cooperation and trade, cultural exchanges, and cooperation in regional and international affairs," said Jia.
During a summit meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the Kyrgyzstan capital Bishkek in August, Chinese President Hu Jintao met with Mongolian President Nambaryn Enkhbayar and reached an consensus on pushing forward the partnership of good-neighborliness and mutual trust between the two countries.
Enkhsaikhan said Mongolia and China were on good terms and leaders of both countries were maintaining contact and dialogue. Both countries had decided that resource and energy development, and infrastructure construction were the key fields for cooperation.
"Mongolia is ready to make concerted efforts with China in implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of Mongolia and China and in advancing expansion of Mongolia-China cooperation," said Enkhsaikhan.
The second Euro-Asia Economic Forum opened on Thursday morning in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, drawing 1,400 delegates from more than 20 countries.
