BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi
and his Armenian counterpart Eduard Nalbandyan agreed on Friday to
further boost political trust and promote bilateral ties.

In their talks in Beijing, Yang told Nalbandyan China was to make joint
efforts with Armenia to implement consensus reached by the two states’
leaders, expand substantial cooperation and step up coordination in
international and regional affairs.

Nalbandian said his country attached great importance to the relations
with China, and hoped to cement bilateral cooperation in political,
trade and cultural areas.

He reiterated his country’s support to China on issues concerning
China’s core interests and concerns.

Nalbandyan arrived in Beijing on Thursday for a five-day official
visit as guest of Yang.
