Chad will stick to the one-China policy and support China in its
reunification cause, Chad President Idriss Deby said on
Wednesday.
At the Presidential Palace, Deby met a Chinese delegation led by
Zhai Jun, assistant foreign minister and envoy of the Chinese
government, who was in N'Djamena to attend Deby's inauguration
ceremony.
Zhai delivered to Deby a letter from President Hu Jintao.
Zhai said the resumption of diplomatic ties between Beijing and
N'djamena would serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples
and provide a political groundwork for both sides to resume
friendly exchanges and conduct cooperation in all fields.
China hopes to boost high-level contacts, deepen cooperation and
strengthen coordination in international affairs with Chad,
headed.
Deby spoke highly of the normalization of ties between Chad and
China. He underlined that Chad will stick to the one-China policy
and support China in its reunification cause.
Chad is willing to reinforce exchanges and cooperation with
China in various fields, so as to achieve a win-win situation of
mutual benefit and seek common development, said Deby.
Deby was sworn in on Tuesday as Chad's president for another
5-year term. Among the leaders attending the inauguration ceremony
were Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and Libyan leader Muammar
Gaddafi.
