英闻天下——165 China Eyes Stronger Partnership with ROK

 　　China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has met with South Korean special envoy¹ Kim Moo-sung.

 

　　Yang said that China looks forward to a stronger partnership² with South Korea.

 

　　Yang also said that China supports efforts to improve relations between South Korea and North Korea.

 

　　Kim said his visit shows Park's sincerity³ in maintaining bilateral⁴ relations, and that Seoul is ready to further advance the partnership with China.

 

　　Ruan Zongze, Vice⁵ President of the China Institute of International Studies, said the visit reflected an adjustment in the country's foreign policy.
