This visit coincided with the 30th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties and was bound to further promote bilateral friendship and cooperation, noted Jiang.

Jiang said that although China and Mauritius were far apart geographically and had different social systems and conditions, the two countries had been friends for a long time, respected each other and treated each other as equals.

Jiang highlighted the frequent exchange of high-level visits, personnel contacts in various fields, fruitful cooperation in such sectors as the economy, trade and culture, strengthening consultations and cooperation in international affairs, and the steady development of bilateral relations.

He stressed that the Chinese government had always encouraged Chinese people in Mauritius to abide by its laws and customs, take an active part in the country's economic development and play a positive role in its economic growth.
