Chinese FM says friendly ties with Sudan not to change


KHARTOUM, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said on Monday that China will not alter its policy to develop friendly cooperation with Sudan no matter how Sudan's internal situation and regional situation changed.
China will continue to keep the friendly exchanges at all levels, enhance mutual understanding and strengthen the mutual political trust, Yang said during his two-day official visit to Sudan.
He told the press that China will expand more practical collaboration with Sudan to achieve mutual benefits. "We are willing to step up the cooperation in oil industry and encourage and support more qualified Chinese companies to invest in Sudan."
He said the cooperation in the fields of agriculture, mining, energy, water conservancy, electricity, roads and bridges engineering and communications will also be expanded.
Meanwhile, China is ready to continue to provide aid and assistance to Sudan within its capability, Yang said.
The minister said that China will strengthen the coordination and cooperation with Sudan in international and regional affairs. "We will enhance the communication and collaboration with Sudan in the important issues such as the reform of the UN Security Council, climate change and food security, to preserve the legitimate rights of the developing countries."
Yang said that the two countries established diplomatic relationship in 1958, and after more than 50 years of development, have formed a stable, long-lasting and comprehensive relationship of friendly cooperation.
