Beijing, May 13th—Liu Jianchao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee (IDCPC), met here today with a delegation led by Yangug Sodbaatar, Secretary-General of the Mongolian People's Party (MPP).  

Liu noted that under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh, China and Mongolia have kept bilateral relations at a high level, and made efforts to build a China-Mongolia community with a shared future featuring peaceful co-existence, mutual support and win-win cooperation. China is willing to work with Mongolia to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, strengthen the integration of development strategies, deepen cooperation such as the Belt and Road cooperation, expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges, and promote China-Mongolia comprehensive strategic partnership for steady and long-term development. The world today is undergoing both transformation and upheaval, with increasing unstable and uncertain factors. The overall peace and stability in East Asia for decades has laid a foundation for the development and prosperity of regional countries. China is willing to strengthen coordination and cooperation with Mongolia in multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to jointly maintain regional and world peace and promote common development. 

Liu said that inter-party cooperation is an important part of China-Mongolia relations. The CPC maintains close exchanges with Mongolian political parties such as the MPP. The CPC is willing to, together with the MPP, strengthen exchanges and dialogues between the two ruling parties, deepen exchanges and mutual learning of experience in state governance and administration, intensify exchanges in all fields and at all levels, promote pragmatic cooperation through the "political party +", expand youth exchanges, and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of China-Mongolia relations. Liu also introduced the relevant situation of the China-U.S. high-level meeting on economic and trade affairs, and expressed that China is willing to work with Mongolia and other countries to resist unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying, maintain a rules-based multilateral trading system, and promote the healthy development of the global economy. 

Sodbaatar said, Mongolia and China are friendly neighbors. China's development has benefited Mongolia. The leaders of Mongolia and China maintain close exchanges. The comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries is flourishing. The Mongolia-China relationship has become a model of friendly coexistence between countries. Mongolia is willing to work with China to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, strengthen the docking of development strategies, promote cooperation in areas such as infrastructure connectivity, port construction, coal, and renewable energy, expand personnel exchanges, and deepen political mutual trust. The MPP and the CPC maintain friendly exchanges. The two sides have fruitful cooperation in areas such as cadre training, and have helped promote practical cooperation between the two countries in various fields through inter-party channels. Calling youth the main driving force for the development of Mongolia-China relations, Sodbaatar said the MPP is willing to strengthen youth exchanges with the CPC and enhance the friendship between the two peoples. Mongolia supports the three major global initiatives and other important propositions put forward by President Xi Jinping, and believes that under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, China will surely achieve its development goals. Mongolia appreciates China's efforts to maintain international trade order and rules.  

After the meeting, the two sides renewed the memorandum of exchanges and cooperation between the CPC and MPP.
