China and the Republic of Korea (ROK) should continue to take a
strategic approach to bilateral ties, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao
said at a meeting Thursday with Iim Chae Jung, speaker of the ROK
National Assembly.
Wen said this year marked the 15th anniversary of China-ROK
diplomatic ties, and the relationship had developed well because
the two countries had adopted a good-neighborly policy and
maintained mutual respect and equal treatment.
Iim Chae Jung said the ROK and China had made remarkable
progress in economic and trade cooperation, and cultural and
personnel exchanges had also greatly expanded.
He said the ROK hoped to further cooperation with China and
continue to build the relationship.
