Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China and the Maldives have continuously given each other mutual respect and support since the two sides established diplomatic ties 52 years ago. China-Maldives relations have been a good example of equality and win-win cooperation between countries of different sizes.

Noting the two heads of state have agreed to China-Maldives relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership early this year and jointly build a community with a shared future for China and the Maldives, Wang said China is ready to work with the Maldives to actively implement the important consensus reached by the leaders, deepen political mutual trust, promote friendly exchanges at all levels, and strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields.
