The Chinese president also called on the two countries to enhance coordination in international and regional affairs, jointly safeguard multilateralism and further advance China's ties with Latin American and Caribbean countries.

For his part, Sanchez said establishing diplomatic ties with China is a "long-cherished hope" of El Salvador.

He promised El Salvador acknowledges and firmly adheres to the one-China principle.

"The two countries have identical positions on many issues, and the development of bilateral relations is based on mutual respect and trust," Sanchez said.

"My visit has fully demonstrated El Salvador's confidence in advancing ties with China," he added.

Hailing China's remarkable achievements since reform and opening-up, Sanchez said El Salvador also strives to improve economic and social development and people's living standards.

"China is our partner in the path of development," Sanchez emphasized.

Viewing the upcoming China International Import Expo as "a good platform to introduce El Salvador products," Sanchez said his country welcomes Chinese investment and is willing to strengthen cooperation in areas including trade, agriculture, infrastructure, tourism, medical care, education, finance, science and technology.

He also voiced El Salvador's interest in participating in the construction of the Belt and Road.

Sanchez thanked China for its timely food aid after the drought in El Salvador not long ago.
