Xi's Mongolia visit opens new chapter of bilateral ties: FM (2)

WIN-WIN STRATEGY

Xi has stressed that China's cooperation with Mongolia, an landlocked nation with relatively smaller population and highly foreign dependent economy, will stick to mutual benefit and win-win strategy instead of zero-sum game.

There is no doubt that China will fulfill its commitment to share the development fruits with Mongolian people so as to reach common growth and prosperity, Wang said.

For its side, Mongolia hailed China's adherence to the principle of equality and mutual benefits, and its support and assistance of Mongolia's economic and social development.

China has taken Mongolia's interests into full consideration in the bilateral cooperation, which deeply moved the Mongolians, said Elbegdorj.

WELCOME ABOARD CHINA'S TRAIN OF DEVELOPMENT

Interactions among Asian nations influence their development and the stability and prosperity of Asia, the world's most dynamic region in terms of economic development, and a place rife with a host of hotspot, Wang stressed.

It is a major task for Asian countries to correctly handle relations with their neighbors, get along well with each other, achieve common development, and properly resolve controversies and disputes, Xi said in a speech delivered at the State Great Hural of Mongolia, the country's parliament.

Countries in the region, said Xi, should respect each other's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, respect each other's free choice of social system and development path, not interfere in each other's internal affairs, take into consideration each other's major concerns, and deepen mutual understanding and recognition.

"China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development and in the meantime, it will push for the concept among all countries," he said, vowing to uphold the guidelines of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness in neighborhood diplomacy.

"You can take a ride on our express train or just make a hitchhike, all are welcome," he said.

In response, Mongolia highly appreciated China's good-neighborly policies, adding China's neighborhood diplomacy would bring key chances of development to Mongolia and other neighbors.

Steady relations with neighboring countries lay the foundation for China's national security and prosperity, Wang said.

Faced with the complicated changes of international and regional situations, China should adhere to its established strategies and put into practice its commitment to neighborliness, regional security and common prosperity, he noted.

Efforts should be made not only to get benefit from our neighbors, but also to give these countries equal access to China's development, and deepen mutual trust and cooperation with them, so as to follow the path of peaceful development and common growth, Wang stressed.
