The Chinese government and people deeply treasure the friendship with Romania, and are willing to bring a steady, healthy and comprehensive bilateral relationship into the new century, he said. Li also noted the NPC strongly supports cooperation with the Romanian parliament, and that contacts between parliament leaders, friendship committees and specialized committees would all benefit the traditional friendship. Meanwhile, he had high praise for relations between the CPC and the PSD, noting the CPC is willing to communicate with the PSD and other Romanian parties on the basis of independence, total equality, mutual respect, and non-interference in each other's internal affairs.

The PSD has always supported China on the Taiwan and human rights issues, he said, expressing the hope that both political and economic cooperation would be reinforced in the future.
