Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said as two major countries with global influence, China and the UK should strengthen cooperation for global development. 

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a meeting with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair in Beijing on Monday.

Noting that China's development is a strengthening force for world peace and stability, Wang said it is hoped that the UK government will pursue a rational, pragmatic and positive China policy and enhance the connotation of the times in China-UK relations. The CPC is willing to strengthen exchanges with the British Labour Party, he said.

Blair, also a former Labour Party leader, said the world today faces many challenges, which requires the UK and China to strengthen coordination and joint response. He said the Labour Party is willing to strengthen dialogue with the Chinese side to promote bilateral relations.
