BEIJING -- A senior Chinese official said here on Thursday that China would promote friendly, cooperative relations with Sudan.

Zhou Yongkang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remark at a meeting with a delegation of the National Congress Party (NCP) of Sudan, the country's ruling party, which was led by Mostafa Osman Ismail, the party's foreign affairs secretary and presidential advisor.

Zhou expressed gratitude for the sympathy and assistance conveyed by Sudan after the May 12 earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province and praised Sudan's support for China on issues concerning Taiwan, Tibet and human rights.

Hailing the development of the China-Sudan relationship, Zhou said the two nations have enjoyed the smooth growth of cooperation in various fields and supported each other in bilateral and multilateral areas since forging diplomatic ties.

China values the friendship with Sudan and will continue pushing the long-term, stable development of friendly, cooperative relations, Zhou said.
