The Chinese National People's Congress (NPC), China's top
legislature, is willing to promote legislative exchanges and
cooperation with its Swedish counterpart, Riksdagen, said Li
Tieying, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, on
Thursday.
Li, who heads a NPC delegation to Sweden, remarked at a meeting
with Swedish Parliament's First Deputy Speaker Per Westerberg and
Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Bosse Ringholm.
Li said China and Sweden have made remarkable achievements in
their cooperation in various fields. China's NPC attaches
importance to its ties with Riksdagen and is ready to enhance
bilateral legislative exchanges and cooperation.
Speaking highly of relations with China, the Swedish officials
