Li said the strengthening of friendly exchanges and cooperation between the two parties is not only favorable to the building of the two states and two parties, but also favorable to the development of the friendly relationship between the two nations.

The delegation, led by Koffi Sama, secretary-general of the Rally of the Togolese People, is here as guest of the CPC.
