Gambia called to firmly adhere to one-China policy

Gambia was called to firmly adhere to the one-China policy, while China seeks to advance the nations' bilateral relations under the principles of mutual respect and equal treatment, Premier Li Keqiang said on Friday.

Li made the remark while meeting with Gambian President Adama Barrow, whose first state visit to China will conclude on Monday.

Normalization of ties has opened a new chapter in relations between China and Gambia, Li said. President Xi Jinping held productive talks with the Gambian president on Thursday, injecting new energy into their ties, Li said.
