国内英语资讯:President Xi meets Norwegian PM to enhance mutual trust

Noting that the two economies are highly complementary, Xi called on the two sides to advance cooperation in areas that they have advantages.

"As the host of 2022 Winter Olympic Games, China is ready to strengthen exchanges with Norway in winter sports and share experience in holding winter sports events," Xi said, adding the two sides should create more favorable conditions to facilitate people's visits to the other country.

Solberg noted she was "impressed by China's rapid development."

She said the joint statement inked last December on the normalization of bilateral ties served as an important guarantee for restoring and developing China-Norway ties. Norway will adhere to the statement, uphold the one-China policy, and highly value China's core interests and major concerns.

Norway will promote high-level contacts with China and push forward bilateral relations from the new starting point, Solberg said.

She said the Norwegian side supports the Belt and Road Initiative, and is ready to expand cooperation of mutual benefit in areas including Arctic issues and cement communication and coordination on global issues.

The visit marks the normalization of bilateral ties, and shows that the relationship is back on the correct track, said Tian Dewen, an analyst with the Institute of European Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Tian said the two countries will cooperate in the traditional areas of fishery and finance, and new areas such as innovation and environmental protection.
