China ready to share development opportunities with Chile: Xi

China will mark the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Chile by deepening mutually beneficial cooperation and sharing development opportunities with the country, said Chinese President Xi Jinping in his meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric in Lima, Peru on Friday.

Xi met with Boric on the sidelines of the 31st APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, which is being held Friday to Saturday.

"This is the third meeting between us. From Bangkok, to Beijing, to Lima, every meeting is very pleasant. I appreciate that you attach great importance to developing relations with China and actively advance the China-Chile comprehensive strategic partnership. Chile is the first South American country to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China. For more than half a century, the two sides have always firmly supported each other in core interests and major concerns, and supported and cooperated with each other for mutual benefit in respective national development," said Xi.

"History and practice have proved that no matter how the international situation changes, China and Chile are always good friends that trust each other, and good partners for win-win cooperation. Next year will mark the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. China is ready to take it as an opportunity to work with Chile to further strengthen strategic communication, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, share development opportunities and pursue new achievements in practical cooperation through high-level political mutual trust, so as to better benefit the two peoples and promote the building of an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future," he said.
