Chinese top political advisor Jia Qinglin said in Beijing Tuesday that China will work with the Republic of Korea (ROK) to boost the all-round cooperative partnership between the two sides.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), spoke highly of China-ROK relations in a meeting with visiting Speaker of the ROK National Assembly Kim One-ki.
China and the ROK enjoy a long history of friendly relations, and bilateral relations have witnessed rapid development in recent years, Jia said.
The two sides enjoy frequent high level visits, rapid growth of economic and trade ties, and close exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, science, technology and personnel exchanges, Jia said, noting that China and the ROK also keep close coordination in international and regional affairs.
Jia said President Hu Jintao made a successful visit to the ROK in 2005. President Hu and his ROK counterpart Roh Moo-hyun jointly set a series of specific goals of further development of China-ROK relations, lifting bilateral ties to a new level, Jia noted.
"China is ready to join with the ROK to implement the decided goals," Jia said.
Jia said the CPPCC would further enhance exchanges and cooperation in various levels with the ROK National Assembly, in an effort to make a contribution to the development of China-ROK relations.
Kim expressed appreciation for China's achievements in economic and social development.
The ROK and China have witnessed frequent high-level visits and rapid development of bilateral relations since forging diplomatic ties, Kim said.
Kim and Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) of China signed an agreement Monday to launch a regular exchange mechanism between the two top legislatures.
Kim told Jia Qinglin that the establishment of the exchange mechanism indicated that the relations between the ROK and Chinese legislatures entered a new phase.
"The ROK National Assembly hopes to further promote exchanges and cooperation with the CPPCC," Kim said.
