Romania and China on Friday agreed to carry out cooperation in
large-scale projects in order to further enhance economic and trade
relations between the two countries.
The consensus was reached during a meeting between Romanian
Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu and visiting Chinese top
legislator Wu Bangguo.
Tariceanu said Romania, after joining in the EU, will be an
important cooperation partner of China in the EU and will work
together with the Chinese side to push forward cooperation in
large-scale projects.
The prime minister expressed his satisfaction over the
full-fledged development of political, economic and cultural
relations between the two countries in recent years.
He also reiterated that the Romanian government will
persistently adhere to the one-China policy.
Wu, chairman of China's National People's Congress, expressed
his desire that the two sides should continue to encourage
enterprise and large-scale project cooperation between the two
countries in order to promote the bilateral economic and trade
cooperation to a new level.
The Sino-Romanian relations based on traditional friendship have
made great achievements in recent years with political trust
enhanced and economic and trade cooperation expanded, he added.
Wu arrived in Bucharest Wednesday for a three-day official
good-well visit to Romania, the first leg of his four-nation tour,
which will also take him to Moldova, Greece and Russia.
