All Romanian political parties attach importance to developing
friendly ties with China, President of Romania's Chamber of
Deputies (lower house of parliament) Bogdan Olteanu said
Tuesday.
They also believe that consolidating the traditional
Sino-Romanian friendship serves the fundamental interests of both
countries, Olteanu told China's new ambassador to his country Liu
Zengwen.
The legislative leader expressed satisfaction with the
development of bilateral ties, saying that over the past 58 years
since both countries established diplomatic ties, bilateral ties
have developed smoothly, citing the ever-expanding "mutually
beneficial" and "fruitful" cooperation in all fields.
He also said that the Romanian lower house of parliament has
maintained close cooperation with the National People's Congress of
China, China's law-making body, saying mutual visits between the
two have not only deepened the mutual understanding between the
Romanian and Chinese people, but provided an important platform for
strengthening bilateral legislative exchanges.
