China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin said in Beijing Friday that China hopes to expand reciprocal cooperation with Micronesia and push ahead with bilateral ties to a higher level.

Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remarks in a meeting with Vice President Redley Killion of the Federated States of Micronesia.

Jia said the Chinese government has attached great importance to relations with Micronesia and will work with the Micronesian government to keep high-level exchanges and expand the cooperation for mutual benefit.

He said China hopes the two countries would support each other on multi-lateral issues and enhance the development of bilateral ties.

Jia also expressed China's appreciation to Micronesia for its adherence to the one-China policy.

Killion said the Micronesian government is committed to deepening friendly ties with China and will continue to promote comprehensive cooperative ties with China based on the one-China policy.

Besides Beijing, Killion will visit northeast China's Liaoning Province and east China's Shandong Province.
