China and Mongolia, having maintained diplomatic ties for 70 years, are facing important opportunities for further development of their relations, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.
Wang made his remarks when holding talks with Mongolian Foreign Minister Damdin Tsogtbaatar in Beijing.
The two sides should maintain close high-level exchanges, align the Belt and Road Initiative with Mongolia's development strategy as well as carry out aid projects regarding development and people's livelihood, the Chinese foreign minister said.
He added the two sides should facilitate the implementation of major projects on energy and mineral resources, and deepen cooperation in various fields.
Mongolia is willing to work with China to push forward cooperation projects on agriculture and animal husbandry, mining, energy, transportation and infrastructure within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, so as to continuously enhance the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, Tsogtbaatar said.
