Chinese President starts Kingdom visit on Tuesday
Riyadh, February 09, SPA -- President Hu Jintao of the Peoples'
Republic of China will start on Tuesday a visit to the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia during which he will meet with the Custodian of the Two
Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
During the meeting, they will discuss the bilateral relations
between the two countries, ways of their enhancement in various
fields and regional and international issues of common concern.
The relations between the Kingdom and China have witnessed rapid
developments for over 18 years since the establishment of diplomatic
ties between the two countries.
This is the second visit for President Jintao to the Kingdom after
his first visit in April, 2006, clearly reflecting the great interest
of the Chinese leadership in the relations of friendship and
strategic cooperation between the two countries.
On his part, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin
Abdulaziz paid two visits to China in 1998 and in 2006.
The mutual visits between the leaders of the Kingdom and China have
given a strong impetus to the growing cooperation between the two
countries in various fields.
During the visit paid by President Jintao to the Kingdom in
2006, the two countries signed an agreement on security cooperation,
defense system contract, and Memorandums of Understanding for
cooperation in health and trade fields.
In the cultural field, the two countries signed an agreement for
cooperation in cultural and educational spheres in 2002.
The efforts of relief and assistance provided by Saudi Arabia to the
affected area after the disastrous earthquake that hit Chinese Chuan
Province reflected the deep feelings of friendship from the Saudi
people towards the Chinese people.
There are 21 million Muslim people in China, more than 30,000
mosques and more than 40,000 imams. Last Year, the number of Chinese
pilgrims reached 21,000.
In a press conference last week, Chinese Ambassador to the
Kingdom Yang Hong commended the role played by Saudi Arabia in the
region and its addressing of regional issues particularly the
important role of the Kingdom, under the leadership of the Custodian
of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, in Arab and
Islamic worlds. He expressed his country's appreciation for the
Kingdom's role.
