China and Turkey said in Beijing Monday they will further their cooperation in fields of public administration and human resources.

"China and Turkey have carried out effective cooperation in this regard. Both of the two countries are going through their own administrative reforms and encouraging each other's relevant departments to deepen their cooperation," Hua Jianmin, China's state councilor and secretary-general of the State Council, told visiting Deputy Prime Minister and State Minister of Turkey Mehmet Ali Sahin.

Hua stressed the significance for China and Turkey to strengthen friendly cooperation, saying that China attaches great importance to its relationship with Turkey.

He spoke positively about the important role that Turkey has played in international and regional affairs.

"China is ready to expand and consolidate the long-term, stable and friendly cooperation with Turkey, which is not only in the fundamental interests of the two peoples, but also conducive to the regional pace and stability," he said.

The Turkish guest said Turkey highly values developing friendly and cooperative ties with China and hopes to further cooperation in public administrative reform, human resources, sports and other areas.
