Hui also showed appreciation of Syrian prime minister's efforts in improving the friendly relationship between the two countries, and thanked Syrian government and people for their hospitality.
For his part, Mohammed Naji Otri called for strengthening bilateral cooperation at all levels and stepping up development in both Syria and China.
He appreciated the friendship and political principles the two countries have adopted in supporting each other for decades, saying that Syria hopes, along with the Chinese side, to keep exploring new methods and domains in bilateral cooperation and further promote economic, trade and cultural exchanges.
The Chinese vice premier arrived in Damascus on Wednesday afternoon for a three-day official visit to Syria at the invitation of Syrian Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah al-Dardari.
Syria and China inked Wednesday an agreement on economic and technical cooperation, in which China offers to grant Syria a financial assistance of 20 million yuan (2.93 million US dollars).
