China looks forward to working with Mexico to step up exchanges in various fields and beef up practical cooperation, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian on Monday when commenting on newly elected Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's recent remarks on bilateral ties.
Sheinbaum, in response to a question from Xinhua News Agency on Oct. 17, highlighted Mexico's "very good relationship" with China in trade, culture, and other areas. She also noted that departments of Mexico's new government will step up communication with China and continue enhancing bilateral relations.
"China and Mexico are good friends that trust each other and good partners seeking common development. In recent years, the China-Mexico relationship has shown greater strategic significance and become increasingly complementary and mutually beneficial. The two sides carried out fruitful practical cooperation, which significantly contributed to the wellbeing of their people. China hopes and believes that under President Claudia Sheinbaum's leadership, Mexico will make new, greater achievements on its independent development path," Lin said at a regular press briefing in Beijing.
"China attaches great importance to its relations with Mexico and looks forward to working with Mexico to step up exchanges in various fields, beef up practical cooperation, enrich the China-Mexico comprehensive strategic partnership and deliver more benefits to their people," said Lin.
