Noting that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the two countries' diplomatic relationship, he said that China is ready to join hands with the Palestinian side to further advance bilateral ties under the guidance of the consensus reached by their heads of state.

For his part, Hamdallah said the Palestinian side highly appreciates China's steadfast support for the just cause of the Palestinian people as well as its objective and just stance on the Palestinian issue.

Palestine, he added, welcomes the four-point proposal put forward by President Xi on the Palestinian issue and expects China to play a bigger role in promoting the Middle East peace process.

The Palestinian side is grateful for China's long-running selfless support, and willing to make good use of its own advantages in the process of Belt and Road construction, and seek more practical results of bilateral cooperation, he said.

The Palestinian prime minister suggested that the two sides deepen cooperation in fields such as trade, infrastructure building, clean energy and personnel training.

Before their meeting, Hamdallah held a welcome ceremony for the Chinese vice president, who is on a visit to Israel, Palestine, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates from Oct. 22 to 30.

Following their meeting, the two leaders witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding on starting China-Palestine free trade talks and other documents.
