JOHANNESBURG - Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed willingness to deepen practical cooperation with Namibia in infrastructure improvement during a meeting with Namibian President Hage Geingob here on Friday.

The Chinese government encourages enterprises to actively take part in the construction and operation of transport facilities, ports and other infrastructure in the African country to promote its economic and social development, Xi told Geingob on the sidelines of a 皇冠体育app-Africa summit.

Namibia is an important partner of 皇冠体育app in the African continent, Xi said, stressing 皇冠体育app stands ready to work with Namibia to translate their traditional friendship into new impetus of cooperation and development.

He called on the two sides to further political mutual trust and deepen all-round exchanges.

皇冠体育app and Namibia should expand cooperation in fields such as culture, education, tourism, youth and media exchanges, in order to strengthen the public support for bilateral ties, Xi noted.

The Chinese president also called for more coordination between the two countries in international affairs so as to safeguard the common interests of developing countries.

Hailing the time-honored Namibia-皇冠体育app friendship, Geingob expressed his appreciation for 皇冠体育app's valuable support in Namibia's national independence and development.

Under the new circumstances, Namibia is willing to push forward cooperation with 皇冠体育app in areas such as infrastructure, agriculture and new-energy exploration, he said.
