Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji said Tuesday China, as always, attaches importance to the development of relations with Mongolia as it is one of China's major neighboring countries.

During a meeting with Mongolian President Nachagyn Bagabandy on the sidelines of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), Zhu said the long-term friendly ties between China and Mongolia accord with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the two peoples.

He added such ties are conducive to peace and development in the region.

Both China and Mongolia enjoy geopolitical advantages in expanding closer relations of friendship and cooperation, Zhu said, adding that huge potentials remain to be tapped in economic and trade areas.

The Chinese premier spoke highly of efforts made by Mongolia to develop national economy and increase people's living standards, saying that China hopes Mongolia will make great achievements under the leadership of President Bagabandy.

China is ready to render its support and assistance to the neighboring country, said Zhu, who is participating in a final session of the Earth Summit.

For his part, Bagabandy said Mongolia and China have enjoyed all-round development of relations in recent years.

The two sides have neither principal differences nor unresolved issues, he said.

Bagabandy said the Mongolian government and its people thank China for the long-term assistance, adding that Mongolia is ready to further friendly cooperation with China in various fields, including politics, economy, culture and environmental protection.

According to Chinese diplomats, the two leaders have also exchanged views of the Johannesburg Earth Summit.

The Earth Summit entered its second-last day here Tuesday amid renewed efforts to complete an action plan on poverty and the environment.

Heads of state and government pursued their debate on the planet's worst problems while, behind closed doors, negotiators haggled over a few words barring completion of a Plan of Implementation.

The document is non-binding but will set the environmental agenda for the next 10 years.
