BEIJING, March 14 -- China will work with Ethiopia and other African
countries to build up a new type of strategic partnership featuring
political equality, reciprocal cooperation, and cultural exchanges,
said a leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Wednesday.
"China attaches importance to the ties with Ethiopia and believes this
relationship would be further promoted through joint efforts," said
Wu Guanzheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
He made the remarks in a meeting with Bereket Simon, executive committee
member of the the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front
(EPRDF).
Wu said China and Ethiopia have enjoyed traditional friendship, and the
exchanges in the political, economic and other fields have been
enhanced in recent years.
He noted the CPC would like to further relations with the EPRDF to help
promote the relations between the two countries.
Ethiopia is located in east Africa. The EPRDF, the ruling party of
Ethiopia, was founded in 1989.
Bereket expressed gratitude for China's long-term assistance to Ethiopia,
saying the EPRDF would learn from the CPC on party building.
Bereket is paying his fourth visit to China at the invitation of the the
International Department of the CPC Central Committee.
