In his meeting with Zatlers, Hui said the China-Latvia relations have been developing smoothly in recent years. The two sides have maintained high-level contacts and strengthened mutual political trust. There has also been remarkable progress in economic and trade cooperation and people-to-people contacts.
President Zatlers visited China last year and reached important consensus with Chinese President Hu Jintao on the development of bilateral relations, said Hui.
The current visit is aimed at implementing the consensus reached last year, deepening friendship and promoting cooperation, he said.
The two sides should work together in face of the current global financial crisis, and should also look even farther and further promote cooperation, he said.
