President Jiang Congratulates Moldovan Counterpart upon Election
Chinese President Jiang Zemin Thursday sent a congratulatory message to Moldovan Communist Party leader Vladimir Voronin upon his election as the country's president Wednesday.
The peoples of China and Moldova enjoy a profound friendship and the two countries have nurtured mature state-to-state ties which are based on the principles of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefit and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, the message said.
Thanks to joint efforts by the two sides, the Sino-Moldovan friendly ties have witnessed continuous, steady and healthy development ever since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1992, Jiang said in the message.
He added that China has always attached importance to consolidating and developing friendly cooperation with Moldova in the political, economic and cultural fields.
President Jiang pledged to work together with Voronin to further the two countries' ties in the new century and he also wished Moldova prosperity under the leadership of Voronin.
Voronin won 71 votes in the 101-seat parliament, thus becoming the first president of the former Soviet republic elected by the parliament since it gained independence in 1991.
