Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 9. President Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation with Uruguayan President Lacalli on the evening of September 9.
Xi Jinping pointed out that Uruguay was one of the first Latin American countries to express solidarity and assistance to China in fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
China has always been concerned about the Uruguayan people's fight against the epidemic.
The Chinese central government, relevant provinces and cities, and all sectors of society have provided Uzbek with anti-epidemic material assistance and shared prevention and control experience.
The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. We must follow the path of solidarity and cooperation based on the concept of promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
China will continue to carry out anti-epidemic cooperation with Uzbekistan, firmly support the WHO in its leadership role, work together to overcome the epidemic at an early date, and jointly promote the building of a human health community.
Xi Jinping emphasized that Uruguay is a trustworthy good friend of China in Latin America and the two countries have always understood and supported each other.
Since the establishment of the strategic partnership between China and Ukraine in 2016, the political mutual trust between the two countries has continued to deepen, and cooperation in various fields has yielded fruitful results.
China will comprehensively improve the level of opening up to the outside world, and promote the formation of a new development pattern with a domestic cycle as the main body and a domestic and international double cycle that promotes each other.
This will provide countries in the world including Uruguay with a broader market and development opportunities.
China is willing to import more Uruguayan high-quality agricultural and animal husbandry products and high value-added products that meet market needs, and actively create new cooperation growth points such as e-commerce and service trade. Uruguayan is welcome to participate in the third China International Import Expo.
The two sides should promote high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road", strengthen exchanges and cooperation in culture, education, sports and other fields, and consolidate the public opinion foundation of China-Uzbekistan friendship.
Both sides should take the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations as an opportunity to firmly support the democratization of international relations and economic globalization.
It is hoped that Uzbekistan will play an active role in promoting free trade cooperation between China and the Southern Common Market, as well as the development of China-Latin America relations and overall China-Latin America cooperation.
La Calle said that I highly agree with President Xi Jinping's important statements and ideas on the current international situation, and admire China's great achievements in fighting the epidemic.
Under the current circumstances, only by maintaining openness and strengthening solidarity and cooperation can all countries better safeguard their common interests.
Ukraine and China are good partners, and the long geographical distance has never hindered the development of friendly relations between the two countries.
The Uzbek side hopes to give full play to the economic complementarity of the two countries, deepen Uzbek-China relations, and strengthen bilateral cooperation in agricultural products, infrastructure, and technological innovation.
Uzbekistan is willing to work with China to safeguard free trade and promote the strengthening of cooperation between the Southern Common Market and China.
