BEIJING, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday that China is willing to build on traditional friendship and promote mutually beneficial cooperation with Algeria to achieve new achievements in bilateral ties.
Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a telephone conversation with Algerian Minister of State and Foreign Affairs Ahmed Attaf.
Noting that China and Algeria enjoy deep traditional friendship, Wang Yi said the two countries have built an architecture of comprehensive cooperation and established a comprehensive strategic partnership.
The head of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, bilateral relations are developing in a stable and healthy manner.
China, Wang Yi continued, is ready to work with Algeria to implement the consensus reached by the heads of state of the two countries, provide mutual support on issues affecting each other's fundamental interests, and achieve new results in bilateral relations.
As the Chinese diplomat noted, the second China-Arab States Summit will be held in China next year and will mark another milestone in the history of Chinese-Arab relations. Algeria is a power with significant influence in the Arab world, Wang Yi emphasized, adding that China looks forward to maintaining contact with the Algerian side to make a joint contribution to the success of the summit.
A. Attaf, in turn, stated that China is an important trade and investment partner for Algeria. He stated that under the leadership of the two leaders, Algerian-Chinese relations maintain strong momentum, effectively contributing to Algeria's national development.
As A. Attaf pointed out, China, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, takes an objective and fair position in international affairs, which is highly valued by the Algerian side. Algeria is ready to work with China to continuously strengthen its traditional friendship, deepen practical cooperation, and elevate its comprehensive strategic partnership to new heights, the Algerian minister added.
He added that Algeria supports China in holding the 2nd China-Arab States Summit, which will give new impetus to relations between Arab countries and China.
In addition, A. Attaf outlined Algeria’s position on the issue of Western Sahara.
Wang Yi, for his part, emphasized that China's position on this issue is consistent: a political settlement is the primary path to resolution, and the UN is the primary channel. He emphasized that the relevant UN Security Council resolutions serve as an important foundation, and that dialogue and negotiation are the correct approach.
The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed hope that the relevant parties will fully cooperate and reach a solution acceptable to all on a fair basis.
