Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and his Belgian counterpart Karel de Gucht pledged on Wednesday to boost relations between China and Belgium.

During their talks held on Wednesday morning, Li said that the Chinese government attaches importance to its ties with Belgium, extending the wish to make concerted efforts to score more progress in promoting bilateral relations.

De Gucht said he was satisfied with the good momentum for the Belgium-China relations.

Both ministers spoke highly of the visit to Belgium by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao last year, stressing that the tour has contributed to pushing forward the development of bilateral ties.

De Gucht reiterated Belgium's adherence to the one-China policy, for which his Chinese colleague expressed appreciation.

Li, who arrived in Brussels Tuesday night, is expected to meet with leaders of the European Union headquarters on Thursday.
