Wang said China is ready to draw up cooperation plans with the Timor-Leste side on Belt and Road cooperation at an early date and expand cooperation in such areas as petrochemical industry, trade as well as framing and fishing sectors.

China supports Timor-Leste in playing a bigger role in regional and international affairs, Wang said.

Soares said bilateral relations between Timor-Leste and China have maintained healthy and stable development.

He said Timor-Leste sees China as a trustworthy friend, and is grateful to the assistance China has provided for the country's economic development. Timor-Leste is willing to actively participate in Belt and Road cooperation, enhance inter-connectivity, and work with the Chinese side toward greater development of the bilateral comprehensive cooperative partnership.

In his meeting with Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland, Wang said it is regrettable that Canada arbitrarily detained a Chinese citizen in December last year, which aroused strong indignation of the Chinese people and brought serious difficulties to the China-canada relations.

The Chinese government firmly upholds the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and enterprises. "We hope that this issue will be properly resolved as soon as possible so as to bring the China-Canadian relations back to the right and healthy track at an early date," he said.

For her part, Freeland said there was no historical grudge between both countries. It is indeed heartbreaking that China-Canada relations are what they are today.
