China is satisfied with the current development of China-Romania
trade ties and hopes the two sides will step up bilateral economic
and trade cooperation, Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday.
Wen made the remark while meeting with visiting Romanian
President Traian Basescu.
He highlighted that China-Romania trade volume has surged in
recent years, expressing the hope that the two sides will continue
to encourage and support Chinese and Romanian businesses to improve
communication and cooperation, expand and balance two-way trade and
implement the major cooperative projects in an effective
manner.
Wen said that China and Romania witnessed growing political
mutual trust since the two countries forged an all-round friendly
and cooperative partnership in 2004, calling for the two countries
to further cooperate in fields such as trade, culture and
education, and science and technology and cement mutual support on
international issues.
Basescu highlighted that Romania and China have forged a solid
foundation for the development of the bilateral ties and the
Romanian side will adhere to the friendly policies towards China
and remain committed to promoting the partnership.
Romania expects to expand the bilateral trade volume and
welcomes Chinese businessmen to invest in Romania, Basescu
said.
