Xi urges China, S Korea to lift strategic cooperative partnership to higher level
CHINESE President Xi Jinping said Tuesday that China and South Korea should lift their strategic cooperative partnership to a higher level, so as to deliver more benefits to the two peoples and bring greater certainty to the turbulent regional and international landscapes.
Xi made the remarks during a telephone conversation with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung.
Extending congratulations once again to Lee on his election as South Korean president, Xi said that China and South Korea are close neighbours that cannot be moved away from each other.
Over the past 33 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties, the two countries have transcended differences in ideology and social systems, and actively advanced exchanges and cooperation across various fields, thus contributing to each other’s success and achieving common development, he said.
A sound, stable and ever-deepening China-South Korea relationship, Xi said, conforms to the trend of the times, serves the fundamental interests of the two peoples, and contributes to regional and global peace, stability, development and prosperity.
