Over the past years, leaders of the two countries conducted exchanges of high-ranking delegations, creating foundation for further cooperation. The guest leader underlined the two countries’ determination to continue implementing the agreements reached by their leaders and legislative bodies, creating a foundation for stronger bilateral cooperation in the future.

In reply, Chairwoman Ngan stressed that 2019 marks the 70th founding anniversary of China. Ms. Ngan congratulated China on the successful organization of the second session of the 13rd NPC in March, and wished the country success in fulfilling the targets set by the session. She expressed her aspiration that the two countries will work together more closely to realize the common perceptions reached by their leaders and promote the sound bilateral relations in all fields from politics and external affairs to economy, trade and investment. So far, the two-way trade turnover touched over US$ 100 billion.
