Xi urges China, Chile to expand cooperation with free trade, open industrial policies
China and Chile should expand bilateral cooperation to more sustainable and broader areas with high-level free trade and more open industrial policies, said Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday.
In his meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric on the sidelines of the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, Xi noted that Chile was the first South American country to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.
Over the past half-century, the two sides have always firmly supported each other on core interests and major concerns, being good friends who trust each other, and good partners for win-win cooperation, Xi said.
China is ready to take the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations next year as an opportunity to strengthen strategic communication with Chile, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, share development opportunities, and promote greater progress in the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two sides, so as to bring greater benefits to the two peoples, Xi said.
He urged the two sides to strengthen exchanges and interactions across various fields and levels, uphold mutual respect and trust, mutual benefit, and connectivity, and continuously expand the scope of their cooperation.
