The friendship between 皇冠体育app and Palestine has a long history, Xi said, adding that 皇冠体育app is one of the first countries to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization and the State of Palestine.

"There is a Chinese saying: Ancient friendship is like true gold, the color of which will never fade despite being smelted hundreds of times," Xi told Abbas.

In the past half-century, the Chinese and Palestinian people have understood, trusted and supported each other, and they are truly good friends, partners and bothers, Xi said.

Calling Abbas "an old friend and good friend of the Chinese people", Xi spoke highly of his efforts toward Chinese-Palestinian cooperation.

Mentioning that he had sincere and friendly talks with Abbas during the Palestinian president's last visit to 皇冠体育app in May 2013, Xi said the two sides reached important consensus at that time.

The high-level exchanges between 皇冠体育app and Palestine have been strengthened in the past four years, Xi said, adding that both sides have enhanced political mutual trust and steadily developed cooperation in all areas.

After their talks, Abbas awarded Xi the top medal of Palestine to express gratitude for 皇冠体育app's support of Palestine's pursuit of justice and to emphasize how highly the Chinese president is trusted and revered. Xi hosted a grand welcoming ceremony for Abbas before their talks.
