At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Mohamed Muizzu of the Republic of Maldives will pay a state visit to China from January 8 to 12, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Friday.
Detailing Muizzu's upcoming visit at a regular press briefing, Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said this is President Muizzu's first state visit to a foreign country since taking office.
President Xi will hold a welcome ceremony and banquet for President Muizzu, Wang said, adding that the two heads of state will hold talks and attend a signing ceremony of cooperation documents.
Premier Li Qiang and Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee Zhao Leji will also meet with President Muizzu respectively, he added.
