BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- Vice Premier Li Keqiang vowed on Wednesday
to improve China's relations with Armenia and boost bilateral ties.
While meeting with visiting Armenian Vice Prime Minister Armen

coordination with Armenia and implement previously agreed-upon
bilateral projects.
He also called on both countries to expand cultural exchanges
and cooperation and consolidate a social foundation for bilateral
friendship.
Li hailed the stable growth of China-Armenia relations since
the establishment of diplomatic ties nearly 20 years ago, citing
frequent high-level exchanges, enhanced political trust and fruitful
cooperation in areas including trade, infrastructure construction,
resource exploration and agriculture.
"We are ready to make efforts with Armenia to use next year's 20th
anniversary of bilateral relations as an opportunity to boost our
relations to a new level," Li said.
Gevorgyan told Li that the Armenian government highly values its
relations with China and hopes to cement bilateral cooperation between
local-level governments in both countries.
Gevorgyan was invited to China to attend the closing ceremony of the
26th Summer Universiade, which fell on Tuesday evening in the city
of Shenzhen in south China's Guangdong Province.
