China is ready to learn from foreign judicial experiences, said
a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Luo Gan, member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of
the CPC Central Committee, made the remark at a meeting with Kemal
Bedri, president of the Supreme Court of Ethiopia.
Luo spoke highly of the Ethiopian government's one-China stance
and its attention to relations with China ever since the two
countries established diplomatic ties in 1970.
Since forging diplomatic ties, bilateral friendship and
cooperation in various fields have continuously progressed, said
Luo, pointing to the momentum of high-level visits between the two
sides since 2003 and the initiation of bilateral judicial exchanges
last year.
He said he was convinced that the visit would further promote
bilateral judicial exchanges and cooperation and contribute to the
development of bilateral friendly relations.
Luo also briefed the visitors on China's development and its
development of democracy and its legal system.
Bedri said Ethiopia and China are proud of their long-term
friendly relations and the judicial departments of the two
countries also enjoy friendly relations. He expressed the hope that
this visit would boost bilateral judicial cooperation.
He said Ethiopia and all of Africa see China as a friend and
admire China's achievements.
Bedri is in Beijing as a guest of the Supreme People's Court of
China.
