China, Guinea Bissau agree to enhance cooperation: envoy

Xinhua, August 2, 2016 Adjust font size:

China's ambassador to Guinea Bissau Wang Hua has said that Beijing and Bissau will reinforce their cooperation in various sectors.

The Chinese diplomat said this in Bissau on Monday after meeting with Guinea Bissau's Secretary of State for Cooperation Augusto Poquena.

"The two parties have expressed their desire to work together to guarantee greater prosperity for their people," Wang said, adding that the two countries will particularly cooperate in sectors such as agriculture, education and fisheries.

The diplomat said China will continue supporting Guinea Bissau's development.

"China which is one of the key development partners of Guinea Bissau, will strongly support agriculture and infrastructure sectors," he affirmed.

Recently, the Chinese government offered Guinea Bissau materials valued 1.25 million U.S. dollars to boost rice production.

Speaking to Xinhua in early July, Guinea Bissau's Public Works Minister Malam Banjai said China was an indispensable partner of Guinea Bissau and it requires special attention. Endit
