国内英语资讯:China, Pacific island countries lift ties to comprehensive strategic partnership

Xi said China has been supporting the island countries in developing economy, improving people's livelihoods and enhancing their ability in independent and sustainable development.

China has proactively opened its market to the island countries, expanded investment in and import from the countries, and welcomed them to board the express train of China's development, Xi said, adding that the friendship between the peoples on both sides will become even deeper as communication and cooperation between China and the island countries boom.

Noting that the Asia-Pacific region has the fastest growing economy in the world with the largest potential, Xi said the only correct choice for the era is peace, development, cooperation and win-win.

The Pacific island countries are increasingly conscious of independent development with growing international influence, he said.

With strong economic complementarity and enormous cooperation potential, China and Pacific island countries' common interests and cooperation basis have expanded under new circumstances, he said.

Xi made a four-point proposal on deepening relations between China and the Pacific island countries.

Firstly, the countries should treat one another as equals and deepen political mutual trust, Xi said.

China is ready to maintain the momentum in exchanges at high and various levels with the island countries and continue to support one another on issues of their core interests and major concern, he said.
