During the meeting, Wang said China and South Africa enjoy broad prospect of cooperation. He called on both sides to earnestly implement both presidents' consensus, taking the opportunity of the first meeting of the China-South Africa inter-ministerial joint working group to promote cooperation on trade, investment, infrastructure, finance and other areas.
