China has invited Burkina Faso's president to attend the China-Africa Cooperation Summit later this year. The invitation was made while the two countries' foreign ministers met in Beijing. After committing to the One-China principle, Burkina Faso says it wants to work more with China. CGTN's Ren Xueqian has more.

Just two days after his country officially resumed diplomatic ties with the world's second largest economy, Burkina Faso's Foreign Minister Alpha Barry continues his high-profile visit in the Chinese capital.

ALPHA BARRY BURKINA FASO'S FOREIGN MINISTER "The resumption of diplomatic relations with China is in line with historic trends and supported by the people of Burkina Faso. We are happy to rejoin the China-Africa cooperation family and will abide by the one-China principle. We are looking to deepen cooperation with China and contribute to development of China-Africa relations as well as our bilateral relations with China."

Such notions have been well accepted by China, now Africa's largest trade partner, with crucial investments in mining, infrastructure and banking systems throughout the continent.

With one more member country of the African community joining its side, China hopes that cooperation with Burkina Faso will soon bear fruit ahead of the biggest economic summit with its African partners.

WANG YANG CHINESE VICE PREMIER "I would like to take this opportunity to forward President Xi Jinping's greetings as well as his invitation for President Kabore's participation in the China-Africa Cooperation Summit hosted in Beijing this September. I believe with our joint efforts, our countries will have made some practical achievements by then, and such achievements will be important results of your current visit."

Burkina Faso is the fourth country to cut ties with Taiwan since Tsai Ing-wen came to office. It follows the Dominican Republic, which also re-established ties in early this month.

According to the World Bank, Burkina Faso imported some 330 million US dollars worth of Chinese goods in 2015.

And with both countries now working to deepen corporation, China is not only looking to increase its influence in Burkina Faso, but also in Africa as a whole. Ren Xueqian RXQ, CGTN, BJ.
