Premier Li Keqiang and his Cape Verdean counterpart Ulisses Correia e Silva agreed yesterday to press ahead with third-party co-operation in various fields, in particular marine economy.
China is ready to advance co-operation with Cape Verde in the fields of marine economy, communications, tourism, education and safe city, while working together to co-operate with third parties, Li said at a meeting at the Macau Dome with Correia e Silva.
Both leaders are in Macau to attend the opening ceremony of the 5th Ministerial Conference of the Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries this morning.
Li urged the two countries to strengthen political mutual trust, lift the level of bilateral co-operation and promote bilateral co-operation to achieve new results, noting that bilateral ties between China and Cape Verde have made remarkable development since the two countries established diplomatic relations 40 years ago.
Li said that China was willing to share its experience of poverty reduction with Cape Verde and encourage Chinese companies to invest in the African country for win-win results.
For his part, Correia e Silva said that his country would like to learn from the development experience of China, promote co-operation between the two countries and carry out third-party co-operation with China in areas such as marine economy.
