Jia Qinglin, secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Beijing Municipal Committee, met Friday with former Mexican president Luis Echeverria Alvarez.

Echeverria said that this is his seventh visit to China and he really appreciates the marked achievements China has made in such a short time.
Echeverria is here at the invitation of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC).
