The Communist Party of China (CPC) is ready to keep increasing
exchanges and cooperation with the Lao People's Revolutionary Party
(LPRP), a senior Chinese party official said in Beijing Friday.
Wu
Guanzheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remark when meeting
with Somsavat Lengsavad, LPRP central committee member and Lao
deputy prime minister.
Wu said the CPC will work with the LPRP to learn from each other
on the experiences of managing state affairs, and play a bigger
role in promoting the cooperative relations between the two
nations.
Wu said
China and Laos, as friendly close neighbors, have witnessed new
developments in bilateral relations in recent years, with frequent
high-level visits and stable progress achieved in exchanges and
cooperation in various fields.
China is satisfied with the sound development of the
party-to-party ties and the state-to-state ties with Laos, Wu said,
expressing appreciation for Laos' adherence to the one-China policy
and for Laos' support to China in major international affairs.
Somsavat said with the care of top leaders of both sides, the
party-to-party and state-to-state relations between Laos and China
have made noticeable progress. He expressed thankfulness for
China's help in Laos' social progress.
The LPRP attaches great importance to studying the CPC's
party-building experiences in the process of promoting social and
economic progress, Somsavat said, hoping that the two parties will
further upgrade their friendly relations and exchange their
experiences to jointly push forward the development of
state-to-state relations.
