Maltese President Guido de Marco promised Monday in Valetta that Malta will continue to stick to one-China policy which it has pursued for 30 years.

De Marco made the promise during his meeting with a Chinese National People's Congress (NPC) delegation headed by Zeng Jianhui, a member of the NPC Standing Committee and chairman of the NPC's Foreign Affairs Committee.

While recalling the sound development of friendly cooperation and bilateral ties after the establishment of the two country's diplomatic relations, de Marco said that he was deeply satisfied with the fact that China always treats Malta equally and supports his country in playing an important role in the Mediterranean region and international affairs.

During the meeting, Zeng briefed de Marco on China's standpoint on the Iraqi issue, which De Marco said he totally agreed.

Also on Monday, Zeng and his delegation met with Malta's parliament speaker Antoune Tabone.

Tabone said China's NPC and the Maltese House of Representatives should strengthen exchanges and contribute more tothe further development of the two countries' bilateral relations.

During his visit to Malta, Zeng also met with Malta's deputy parliament speaker, Michael Bonnici, Foreign Minister Joseph Borg,Minister Of Economy Josef Bonnici and the leader of the opposition Malta Labor Party, Alfred Sant.
