Minister Calls for Economic Cooperation with Mexico

Minister in charge of China's State Economic and Trade Commission Li Rongrong said Monday evening in Shanghai that China and Mexico could tighten their economic ties in the sphere of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), of which both are members.

At a meeting with Juan Bueno Torio, deputy economic minister of Mexico, Li said Mexico will play host to the APEC series of meetings next year, and the two countries can cooperate well in this respect.

Li is the chairman of the 8th APEC SME Ministerial Meeting scheduled for August 29-30 in Shanghai, one of the APEC meetings being held in China this year.

The Mexican official, who is here to attend the upcoming APEC SME Ministerial Meeting, said he was deeply impressed by the tremendous changes that have taken place in Shanghai since he visited the city 25 years ago.
