MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10 (Chinese media) -- Chinese Vice
President Xi Jinping on Tuesday outlined a five-point proposal for maintaining
the rapid development of Sino-Mexican economic and trade cooperation.
First, both sides should treat and advance their
economic and trade cooperation from a strategic perspective, Xi said at a
luncheon hosted by Chinese and Mexican entrepreneurs.
As large developing countries, Xi said, China and
Mexico are influential in the world economy, trade and finance.
He said both sides should be fully aware of the
significance of enhancing cooperation for promoting their own development and
safeguarding the common interests of developing countries.
The two countries should further tap the potential,
enrich the contents and ways, and open new channels and fields, to raise their
economic and trade cooperation to a new level, Xi added.
Xi reiterated that opening-up to the outside world is
the basic national policy of China, and that the Chinese market will always be
open. He said China does not seek a trade surplus with Mexico, but a trade
balance between the two markets.
Secondly, he asked the two governments to further
improve their services. In recent years, China and Mexico have maintained close
collaboration concerning the development of bilateral economic and trade
cooperation, and have signed a series of documents to create legal assurances
and better conditions for trade.
He asked the two governments to more actively
eliminate the obstacles to bilateral trade and investment, and to improve the
efficiency and convenience for those activities.
Thirdly, Xi asked the two sides to actively promote
cooperation in important sectors such as mining, telecommunications,
agriculture, fishing, processing and assembly and new energy.
In his fourth point, Xi urged Chinese and Mexican
enterprises to be the main force in bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
Businesses in both countries have a sincere will to
enhance mutually beneficial cooperation and pursue interests amid economic
globalization. Business, Xi said, is the main force in furthering Sino-Mexican
economic and trade cooperation.
He expressed hope that both countries could broaden
their contacts, enhance mutual understanding, tap potentials and strengthen
strategic cooperation to move toward complementing each other with respective
advantages.
In his fifth point, Xi asked both countries to expand
cooperation in international economic affairs.
As globalization continues to develop, China and
Mexico have seen growing collaboration and cooperation in world and regional
economic affairs, Xi said.
He said the two countries can enhance consultations
and expand cooperation in addressing the financial crisis, reforming the
international financial system, and advancing the Doha round of world trade
talks, while jointly safeguarding the legitimate rights of developing nations.
Meanwhile, Xi noted that China would stick to a path
of peaceful development and a reciprocal and win-win open strategy.
China would boost its own development through broad
and reciprocal cooperation with other countries and in turn promote a common
development with its own progress, contributing to safeguarding world peace and
promoting common development.
Though China has made some achievements in its reform
and development, it remains a developing country with its per capita GDP ranking
over 100th in the world, Xi said.
Long-time and arduous efforts are needed to modernize
the country while a peaceful international environment and a stable and
harmonious domestic environment are crucial for China to achieve the goal, he
stressed.
With regard to Sino-Mexican relations, Xi said China
has always attached great importance to advancing its ties with Mexico.
He noted that both countries are in a crucial stage
of economic development and are provided with rare opportunities for broader
economic and trade cooperation.
China and Mexico should seize the opportunity to
achieve joint development and complement each other with respective advantages
to reach a mutually beneficial and win-win scenario, Xi said.
He also expressed the hope that Mexican and Chinese
entrepreneurs would join hands to make greater contributions to creating a
brighter future for bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
Xi is on a three-day visit to Mexico from Monday to
Wednesday. He will also visit Jamaica, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and Malta,
which will last until Feb. 22.
