China’s top legislator Zhao Leji has called for jointly advancing the high-level development of the China-Switzerland innovative strategic partnership during an official goodwill visit to the country from Monday to Thursday.
Switzerland was one of the first Western countries that established diplomatic ties with the People’s Republic of China, said Zhao, chairman of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, during his meeting with President of the National Council of Switzerland Maja Riniker and President of the Council of States of Switzerland Andrea Caroni.
Over the 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two countries have jointly cultivated a spirit of cooperation featuring “equality, innovation and win-win,” setting a model for cooperation between countries with different social systems, at different stages of development and of varying sizes, he said.
