Senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Li
Changchun met in Beijing Wednesday with Surinamese Vice President
Ramdien Sardjoe, pledging to promote the development of
China-Surinam relations.
Li said China attaches great importance to developing the
friendly and cooperative relationship with Surinam and will make
joint efforts with the Surinamese side to continuously boost such
relationship on basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual
benefit.
Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau
of the CPC Central Committee, expressed his appreciation of the
Surinamese government's adherence to the one-China policy.
He also recalled his visit to Surinam in March, in which he met
with Surinamese President Runaldo Ronald Venetiaan and Sardjoe.
Sardjoe said China has stable political environment and fast
growing economy and Chinese people's life is improving.
He said Surinam will stick to the one-China policy and is ready
to enhance friendship and strengthen cooperation with China along
the road of economic and social development.
Sardjoe arrived in Beijing Sunday afternoon for his first
official visit to China at the invitation of his Chinese
counterpart Zeng Qinghong.
He held talks with Zeng on Tuesday and is scheduled to meet with
Chinese President Hu Jintao Wednesday afternoon.
Sardjoe's six-day tour also covers northwest China's ancient
city of Xi'an, northeastern coastal city of Dalian and Shanghai
