China will continue to support Burundi in safeguarding its own rights and interests and accelerating its own development, Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee said on Tuesday during a meeting with Burundian Foreign Minister Albert Shingiro in Beijing.

Wang, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, thanked Burundi for its positive contribution to the successful holding of the first high-level conference of Forum on Global Action for Shared Development. 

He appreciated Burundi's active support and participation in the Global Development Initiative, saying that the implementation of the initiative would help Burundi's economic and social development.

China and Burundi always maintain a high degree of mutual trust and firmly support each other on issues concerning each other's core interests, Wang noted.

China is focusing on advancing national rejuvenation through a Chinese path to modernization, and will provide new development opportunities for developing countries including Burundi, he said.

Shingiro said Burundi is willing to carry out more practical cooperation with China in fields such as agriculture and infrastructure construction. 

Burundi firmly supports China's position on issues concerning its core interests and major concerns, and adheres to the one-China principle, Shingiro said, vowing to enhance cooperation with China to uphold multilateralism and safeguard common interests.
