Adjust font size:

China will further exchanges with the Swiss parliament at all levels to push forward the comprehensive state-to-state relation, said top legislator Wu Bangguo in Beijing on Wednesday.

During a meeting with Andre Bugnon, president of the National Council of the Federal Assembly of Switzerland, Wu hailed the friendly relationship between the two parliaments.

Both countries had established friendly working groups in their legislative organs, a new bridge to promoting exchange and friendship, said Wu, the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee chairman.

He added China and Switzerland were partners in trade and technology, and made fruitful cooperation in education, science, tourism and environmental protection.

Developing the Sino-Swiss relation conformed to the interest of citizens of the two countries, he said.

Wu added China appreciated Switzerland's adherence to the one-China policy, and would enhance mutual trust and cooperation and handle disputes properly to push forward the bilateral ties.

Bugnon said the Swiss government, parliament and people had a common aspiration of improving contacts with China, and the Federal Assembly would make a contribution in this regard.
