He commended the two nations’ increasing political and diplomatic relations via regular dialogues at all levels and growing economy-trade ties, and their strong coordination at international organisations and multilateral forums.

The Foreign Minister recommended the sides further coordinate closely in promoting the exchange of high-level delegations, and effectively implementing such bilateral cooperation mechanisms as Free Trade Council and political consultation between the Foreign Ministries.
