Yang Jiechi, visiting vice foreign minister, said in Buenos
Aires Wednesday that the Chinese government had made as much effort
as possible to boost trade cooperation with Argentina.
Yang, who arrived here on Wednesday, took part in the ninth
session of the Bilateral Political Consultation Meeting in
Argentina's San Martin Palace, the seat of the country's foreign
ministry.
During the meeting, Yang and Roberto Garcia Moritan, his
Argentine counterpart, analyzed the progress in bilateral relations
since 2004: the year in which Hu Jintao, China's president, visited
Argentina, and his Argentine counterpart, Nesto Kirchner, made a
reciprocal visit to China.
Yang said China was keen to deepen and strengthen existing ties
and boost trade, investment and tourism, adding that China's and
Argentina's economies created many opportunities for cooperation
and mutually beneficial initiatives.
Garcia said that Argentina would continue to adhere to the
one-China policy and publicly thanked China for its support in
international forums.
