Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday met with Prime Minister of Guinea Amadou Oury Bah in northeast China's Dalian City, who is attending the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions.

Guinea was the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to establish diplomatic ties with China, and both sides enjoy a time-honored friendship, Li said.

Noting that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, Li said China stands ready to work with Guinea to further carry forward traditional friendship, firmly support each other on issues concerning each other's core interests, deepen cooperation across all fields, and bring more benefits to the two peoples.

China is ready to strengthen alignment of strategic planning with Guinea, fully leverage policies including China's zero-tariff treatment and the upgraded green channel for African agricultural exports to China, and elevate cooperation in trade, agriculture, mining and other sectors, Li said.

It is hoped that Guinea will provide stable policy guarantees and a sound business environment for Chinese enterprises investing in Guinea, Li said, calling on both sides to thoroughly implement the 10 partnership action plans proposed at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.

Bah said Guinea looks forward to learning from China's successful experience in poverty alleviation and modernization, expressing appreciation for China's valuable assistance to Guinea's economic and social development.

Guinea looks forward to working with China to jointly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, step up exchanges at all levels, further advance key projects including the Simandou project, expand cooperation in trade, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, science and technology, and raise the level of industrial cooperation, Bah said.
