China & Kazakhstan to boost strategic partnership

China & Kazakhstan on Tuesday vowed to boost their strategic partnership and bilateral cooperation.

The pledge came out of a series of meetings between Chinese state leaders and visiting Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is on a three-day state visit to China.

In the meeting between China's top legislator Wu Bangguo and Nazarbayev in Beijing Tuesday morning, the two sides stressed the importance of enhancing parliamentary exchanges and cooperation.

Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislative body, said parliamentary exchanges were an important part of state relations.

The NPC would continue to strengthen communication and cooperation with the Kazakh parliament and contribute to the development of China-Kazakhstan strategic partnership.

Nazarbayev said he would support a closer relationship between the two legislative bodies.

Wu said China would work with Kazakhstan to deepen pragmatic cooperation and strengthen communication and coordination within multilateral frameworks.

Nazarbayev said China was Kazakhstan's close friend & strategic partner. Kazakhstan, which was mapping out a development plan for the next five years, wanted to learn from China's 12th Five-Year Program (2011-2015) and its experience in building an innovative nation.

Kazakhstan would promote cooperation with China in all areas and at all levels.

On Tuesday afternoon, Chinese President Hu Jintao will hold talks with Nazarbayev and Premier Wen Jiabao will also meet him. The two countries are expected to sign a series of documents on bilateral cooperation after the two presidents' talks.

Nazarbayev will also visit north China's Tianjin.

The two heads of state witnessed the signing of a series of cooperation agreements on cross-border water resource protection, high speed railway construction, and joint projects on petroleum, oil and gas resources.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and top legislator Wu Bangguo also met respectively with Nazarbayev earlier on Tuesday, exploring ways to further bilateral pragmatic cooperation and parliamentary exchanges.

Wen said the relations between both countries had witnessed rapid growth in recent years, which played an important role in safeguarding regional security and promoting economic growth.

He said he believed there was much room to grow the cooperation, particularly in the areas such as energy, agriculture, transportation, finance and technology.

"The Chinese government is ready to enhance coordination with Kazakhstan to implement various agreements and consensus, to exert the principal role of enterprises, and promote greater achievements of bilateral cooperation," the premier said.

Appreciating China's support for his country in countering global financial crisis, Nazarbayev vowed to work closely with China to facilitate cooperation in trade, energy and transportation areas.


Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislative body, stressed the importance of parliamentary exchanges in overall bilateral relations.

He said the NPC would continue to strengthen communication and cooperation with the Kazakh parliament, and contribute to the development of China-Kazakhstan strategic partnership.

Nazarbayev said he would support a closer relationship between the two legislative bodies.

He called China a close friend and strategic partner of his country. Kazakhstan, which is mapping out a development plan for the next five years, wants to learn from China's 12th Five-Year Program (2011-2015) and its experience in building an innovative nation, he added.

Nazarbayev will also visit north China's Tianjin.
 
Kazakhstan is oil rich country, it can be an important part of China's oil supply in the near future.
 
Nazarbayev's temperament is better than the Hu Jintao.
Hu's eyes as in sleep.

Hey, cheer up, my boy!
