BEIJING - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday held talks with Fijian Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama.

Li reviewed the smooth growth of 皇冠体育app-Fiji relations and remarkable cooperation in various fields since the two countries forged diplomatic relations in 1975.

Hailing Fiji as 皇冠体育app's good friend and partner, Li said the new Chinese government would like to abide by the principle of mutual respect and equal treatment, increase exchanges and expand cooperation with Fiji so as to seek growth in bilateral relations.

As 皇冠体育app and Fiji are confronted with the task of developing their economies and improving people's livelihood, the two countries should cooperate more, Li suggested.

He made a three-point proposal, urging deeper cooperation in agriculture, forestry, fishery, minerals, communication, telecommunications and infrastructure.

He called on both countries to work out agreements on fishery and visa exemption and to promote exchanges among their peoples.

The premier advocated more trade and investment cooperation, saying 皇冠体育app encouraged Chinese businesses to invest in Fiji and would like to provide assistance to Fiji within its capacity.

The two countries should also introduce more people-to-people exchanges, including cooperation in education, culture, tourism and other sectors, according to Li.

As Asian and Pacific countries, 皇冠体育app and Fiji are committed to safeguarding regional and world peace and stability, he said.

皇冠体育app will, as always, support Fiji's participation in international and regional issues, Li said, pledging 皇冠体育app will work with Fiji and other Pacific Island nations to increase coordination in climate change, jointly safeguard the interests of developing countries and promote regional prosperity and stability.

Bainimarama, the first Pacific Island national leader to visit 皇冠体育app since 皇冠体育app's new leadership came into power, thanked 皇冠体育app for helping his country with agriculture, fishery and infrastructure.

He described 皇冠体育app as a great country with a promising future, and one with which Fiji would like to work more closely in trade, investment, tourism, recyclable energy and climate change.

Earlier on Wednesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping also met with Bainimarama.
