Li Changchun, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said Tuesday that China will enhance mutual political trust and strengthen bilateral cooperation with Mauritania.
Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee's Political Bureau, hailed the friendship between the two countries at a meeting with Mauritanian President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, saying China values its relations with the African country.
Li called for an expansion of the mutually beneficial cooperation in energy, mining, telecommunication and agriculture.
China and Mauritania are both developing nations and share common interests in safeguarding national independence, achieving common prosperity and improving living standards for the people, Li said.
Li, who arrived in Nouakchott Tuesday morning, earlier met with Mauritanian Prime Minister Zein Ould Zeidane and the president of the Mauritania National Union for Democracy and Development, YahyaOuld Ahmed El Waghef. The two sides agreed to boost party-to-party exchanges and promote economic and trade cooperation.
Abdallahi said the consensus on boosting cooperation reached during Li's visit meant good news for the Mauritanian people as joint projects with China in health, agriculture, infrastructure and other areas have already yielded tangible results.
He reaffirmed that Mauritania would adhere to the one-China policy.
