Adjust font size:

Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on Monday met with his Malawian counterpart, Joyce Banda, and both vowed to further bilateral ties.

Yang said that the establishment of diplomatic relations in December began a new era and provided substantial room for cooperation.

Yang said that China attached great importance to developing sound and stable ties with Malawi and was willing to work with Malawi toward that goal.

Yang said that Malawian President Bingu wa Mutharika's visit to China(scheduled to occur from March 24-30) would be significant in developing bilateral ties and cooperation, adding that China hoped to cooperate closely with Malawi to ensure that the visit was a success.

Banda said that the establishment of diplomatic ties with China was a far-sighted, historic decision for Malawi and the country was committed to furthering bilateral ties.

Banda stressed that Malawi would honor the communique released by the two countries when they established diplomatic ties, adhere to the one-China policy and stand beside China on all major issues.

Yang expressed his appreciation for Banda's statement.

The two officials exchanged views on issues of common concern, including China-Africa cooperation, and agreed to strengthen cooperation between their ministries.
