The Chinese government attaches considerable importance to
international cooperation in the fight against corruption, and is
willing to do more in this regard, said a senior legislator in
Beijing on Monday.
Gu Xiulian, vice chairwoman of the Standing Committee of China's
National People's Congress (NPC), said China is willing to carry
out anti-corruption exchanges and cooperation with other countries,
regions and international organizations on the basis of equality
and mutual respect.
"China is willing to learn from others' experience, as this will
help us fight corruption more effectively," Gu said when meeting
with a delegation from the Ethiopian Ethics and Anti-Corruption
Commission led by Chairman Ali Sulaiman.
Gu added that the Chinese government is committed to social
development, social fairness and justice and so had devoted
significant resources to the fight against corruption.
Ali spoke highly of the efforts made by the Chinese government
in this field and its achievements. He said he hoped the two sides
would be able to cooperate further on anti-corruption in the future
and learn from each other, thereby further developing
China-Ethiopia relations.
At the invitation of the Chinese Ministry of Supervision, the
delegation is paying a working visit to China.
