A full restoration and further development of the friendly

bear fruits and make contribution to the welfare of the two
peoples.
The delegation comprises senior officials of the Chad government
including the minister of foreign affairs, minister of defense and
minister of finance.
The delegation started to visit China on Thursday at the
