China and Grenada vowed to enhance parliamentary exchanges
Wednesday during talks between top legislator Wu Bangguo and
visiting Grenadian President of the Senate Kenny Lalsingh and
Speaker of the House of Representatives Lawrence Joseph.
"The visit by Grenadian parliamentary leaders launched a new
beginning for parliamentary exchanges and was significant," said
Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's
Congress.
He hoped the two parliaments would learn from each other on
country governance and legal construction, and contribute to the
development of Sino-Grenada relations.
Grenada is an island country in Caribbean sea. It restored
diplomatic relations with China in 2005.
Wu said China had attached importance to the relations with
Grenada, and the political trust and economic cooperation had
expanded. The two countries had also maintained sound coordination
on the multi-lateral area, he added.
Both are developing countries and facing the task of improving
economy and people's lives, thus strengthening unity and
cooperation is in conformity with the fundamental interest of the
two countries and the peoples, Wu said.
Wu expressed appreciation for the adherence of Grenada to
one-China stance and its support to China's reunification cause,
saying this "cemented the political foundation" for Sino-Grenadian
relations.
The Grenadian parliamentary leaders reaffirmed to adhere to
one-China policy, and pledged to promote relationship between the
two countries.
