Malta & China to enhance bilateral cooperation
Malta's Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi met here Friday with visiting Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Fu Ying to promote relations between the two countries.
Fu gave a hand-written letter from Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao to Gonzi, in which Wen expressed gratitude on behalf of the Chinese government to the Maltese government for its help in evacuating Chinese nationals from Libya.
Mutual trust, friendship and cooperation between China and Malta have set an example for the international community, Wen said in the letter.
Gonzi said that despite huge differences in the sizes of territory and population between the two countries, China had treated Malta as an equal.
Political, economic and cultural cooperation between the two sides have been very fruitful, he added.
Gonzi expressed the hope that the two nations would continue to support each other and enhance cooperation.
Fu, for her part, said the Chinese people will never forget the generous help offered by the Maltese people, and some 5,000 Chinese nationals, who were evacuated from Libya via Malta, would become new messengers of Sino-Maltese friendship.
Menwhile, Fu hoped that friendship would further promote cooperation between the two countries.
During the meeting, Gonzi and Fu also discussed the situation in the Middle East.
