The Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Justice and
Development Party (JDP) of Turkey, the ruling parties of the two
countries, pledged yesterday to expand cooperation in an effort to
promote bilateral relations.
In the meeting between Wu Guanzheng, a member of the Standing
Committee of the CPC Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and
visiting JDP Vice Chairman Sukru Ayalan, the two sides agreed to
foster friendly cooperation in fields such as trade, the economy,
culture, science and technology.
The development of China-Turkey relations facilitated regional
and international peace and stability, Wu said.
China and Turkey shared the same and similar views on many
significant international and regional issues, Wu said, expressing
his appreciation for Turkey's adherence to the one-China policy and
support on the issues of Taiwan and human rights.
"The CPC will continue to cement the exchanges and cooperation
with the JDC to promote bilateral relations to a new level," Wu
said.
Ayalan said Turkey would remain committed to friendly
cooperation based on the one-China policy, pledging that the JDC
would further develop ties with the CPC.
