China vows closer ties with Algeria

Xinhua, September 1, 2015 Adjust font size:

China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng met with President of the Algerian Council of the Nation Abdelkader Bensalah in Beijing on Tuesday, vowing to boost stronger ties.

Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), praised Bensalah's visit to attend China's V-Day celebrations on Sept. 3 on behalf of Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.

Yu said China and Algeria share similar experience in resisting foreign invaders and struggling for national independence, and both enjoy a tradition of remembering history and cherishing peace.

"I believe the two countries will continue to make positive contributions to global and regional peace," Yu added.

China values its all-round strategic partnership with Algeria and will promote greater progress in bilateral ties, he said.

Bensalah said he was honored to attend China's celebrations and said he hopes the visit will improve bilateral ties and jointly safeguard world peace. Endi
