Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday that China is ready to take an upcoming ministerial conference as an opportunity to promote the further development of relations between China and Arab countries.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during a meeting with Sudanese Foreign Minister Hussein Awad on the sidelines of the 10th Ministerial Conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, which is set to open on May 30 in Beijing.

Noting that this year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries, Wang said China is firmly committed to developing friendly relations with Sudan.

Wang said China supports Sudan in safeguarding its national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, achieving domestic peace and stability, and exploring a development path suited to its own national conditions.

China will continue to urge the international community to provide favorable external conditions for the settlement of the Sudan issue, he said.

China appreciates Sudan's active support of and participation in the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, said Wang.

He said China is also ready to work with African countries, including Sudan, to successfully host this year's Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and contribute to building a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future.

Hussein expressed admiration for China's great achievements in development and thanked China for its strong support of Sudan's development. Sudan adheres to the one-China principle and will always firmly support China on issues concerning China's core interests and major concerns, he said.

Hussein said Sudan attaches great importance to the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum and FOCAC and is ready to deepen practical cooperation with China in various fields within the framework of the two important forums.
