rooted history, I, also, offer my thanks for the cordial feelings you have expressed towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This visit comes as an extension to the visit of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud eight years ago that laid the foundation for a new era of relations between our two countries. Your Excellency, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, attaches special interest to developing its relations and consolidating the cooperation with the Peoples Republic of China in different fields. We are pleased to have felt a similar interest from His Excellency President Xi Jinping during my meeting with him yesterday. I would like to express our satisfaction over the identity of views we have reached with His Excellency the President on issues and topics that have been discussed, including the agreement to expand the circle of bilateral cooperation, especially in the political, security, economic, commercial, industrial, scientific, technological, energy and cultural fields and work for tightening the contacts between the private sectors in both countries and entering into joint ventures and investments to the mutual interest of the two friendly peoples. The fruitful cooperation between our two countries was not confined to certain fields as we witness the transference of this relation into a strategic partnership with wide dimensions to the benefit of the two friendly peoples. The signing today of a number of memoranda of understanding in the fields of investment and cooperation in space sciences and technology and technical cooperation program in the commercial field, another memo on the contribution of the Saudi Development Fund in financing a project to establish university buildings in the State of Sanche, once more confirm the depth of this partnership and its good objectives based on the joint desire to continue the historical ties binding our two peoples and our common endeavor to achieve comprehensive development in our two countries in the service of peace and stability. Your Excellency, We firmly appreciate the confirmation made by His Excellency the President to the historical Chinese positions in support of the rights of the Palestinian people and his statement on the importance of reaching a prompt peaceful solution to the crisis in Syria through complete implementation of Geneva I declaration issued on June 30, 2012, including the establishment of an interim ruling authority with full executive liabilities, hoping that the world community would unite to coerce the Syrian regime to stop bloodshed of the dear Syrian people. Finally, I confirm to your Excellency that, we, under instructions of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, will continue to spare no effort to enhance our joint cooperation march, not only at the bilateral level, but also at the international institutions level and within the G20. Let me, Excellency, thank you again and wish the great Chinese people more progress and prosperity under the wise leadership of His Excellency the President and Your Excellency." --More 11:44 LOCAL TIME 08:44 GMT تغريد
