Papua New Guinea officially joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank not long ago and has become the first country in the Pacific island region to sign a memorandum of understanding on Belt and Road construction with China.
Xi said the two sides should take this as a new starting point to actively expand practical cooperation within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, thus providing strong impetus for sustained and stable development of bilateral relations.
Xi also called on both sides to deepen friendship between the two peoples and expand non-governmental exchanges and local cooperation in order to increase people's sense of participation and gain in developing bilateral relations.
"China stands ready to strengthen coordination and cooperation with Papua New Guinea within the multilateral mechanism, supports Papua New Guinea in hosting the 2018 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting, and hopes to jointly build an open Asia-Pacific economy," he said.
O'Neill said Papua New Guinea is committed to deepening its strategic partnership with China and firmly adheres to the one-China policy.
Papua New Guinea highly values and actively supports the great Belt and Road Initiative proposed by President Xi, and is looking forward to expanding cooperation with China in such areas as economic and trade, investment, agriculture, tourism and infrastructure, he said.
