LISBON, Dec. 4 -- Visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks here on Tuesday with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.
They agreed to take the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties next year as a new historical starting point, to promote the friendly cooperation to score more progress and open up a new chapter in the development of China-Portugal relations.
Xi said the two countries enjoy a long history of friendly exchanges, adding that since the establishment of diplomatic ties 39 years ago, China and Portugal have always witnessed win-win cooperation with mutual understanding, respect and trust. The bilateral ties stood the test of changes in the international landscape and have been developing in a healthy and stable way.
Noting an ancient Chinese saying "A partnership forged with the right approach defies geographical distance; it is thicker than glue and stronger than metal and stone," Xi said China and Portugal are such kind of good friends and partners who are getting along with each other.
Xi said that the Chinese side appreciates Portugal's adherence to the one-China policy, and will continue to work with Portugal to share mutual understanding and support on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns.
Xi called on the two sides to advance high-level exchanges, strengthen exchanges between the two governments, legislative bodies, political parties, local areas and non-governmental bodies, and deepen political mutual trust, in efforts to cement political foundation for friendship.
