Mauritania's President Sidi OuldCheikh Abdallahi said in New
York on Monday that his country welcomes more Chinese enterprises
to conduct cooperation projects.
Cooperation between Mauritania and China has yielded remarkable
results and brought important interests to the people of both
countries over the more than four decades since the establishment
of diplomatic relations, Abdallahi said during a meeting with
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi at the sidelines of the 62nd
session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Yang, for his part, said China wishes to push for the constant
development of bilateral friendly cooperation of mutual benefit and
continue providing assistance to Mauritania and contribute to the
African country's economic and social development.
China would also encourage its enterprises to participate in
cooperation in Mauritania's infrastructure projects, Yang said.
