国内英语资讯:土耳其总统赞扬中国高层接触频繁

For his part, Wang noted that it is the common interest of both countries to deepen a strategic bilateral relationship, as both China and Turkey are key emerging economies and G20 members.

Wang said he visited Turkey with a view to implementing the understanding reached between Xi and Erdogan during their three meetings since last year, part of which is the agreement on a governmental cooperation committee mechanism of deputy prime ministerial level.

During the first meeting under the mechanism, Wang and Simsek coordinated the issues of advancing cooperation on politics, economy and trade, security and culture, as well as of addressing each other's key concerns, the Chinese vice premier told Erdogan.

Wang said the Chinese side has always treated its relations with Turkey from a strategic height, ready to build a solid foundation for political mutual trust, intensify cooperation on security and counterterrorism, work hard toward a balanced trade, promote the harmonization of the Belt and Road Initiative with the Middle Corridor plan on the Turkish side and push for a breakthrough in cooperation on big projects to the benefit of both peoples.

In his meeting with Wang in Ankara a day earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim expressed his understanding of China's concern about the security issue, saying Turkey will not tolerate the separatists trying to split China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

As Turkey and China had agreed on a high-speed rail linking Kars in Turkey's east with the western Turkish city of Edirne, Yildirim voiced hope for joint efforts to advance the project.
