Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store in Beijing on Monday, saying China is ready to work with Norway to promote the continued development of friendly cooperation.
Xi asked Store to convey his greetings to King Harald V. Since the two countries established diplomatic ties 70 years ago, the two peoples have respected, appreciated and learned from each other, forging a precious friendship, he noted.
Strengthening friendly cooperation between China and Norway conforms to the will of the two peoples, the fundamental interests of the two countries and the global trend of maintaining closer ties between countries so as to share weal and woe, Xi said.
According to him, today’s world is undergoing profound changes unprecedented in a century that are testing the international community’s ability to make the right choice.
China will continue to follow the path of peaceful development. By further deepening reform in an all-round manner and advancing China’s modernization, China will inject stability and certainty into a world beset with changes and turbulence, and create more opportunities for the common development of all countries, Xi added.
