BEIJING - Vice President Xi Jinping met with visiting Slovenian National Assembly speaker Pavel Gantar on Monday in Beijing, where they vowed to enhance bilateral cooperation.

China and Slovenia will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties next year, and both countries should take this time as an opportunity to enhance mutual trust and expand cooperation, Xi said.

"China is satisfied with the development of the China-Slovenia bilateral relationship," Xi said, noting that the ties were highlighted by frequent high-level contacts, advanced cooperation and sound communication in international affairs.

Gantar said Slovenia hopes to learn more from China's experience in development while cementing bilateral cooperation in areas such as technology, transport and culture.

Gantar also gave Xi his well-wishes for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

China-Slovenia bilateral cooperation is based on mutual political trust and the two countries' complementary advantages, said Gantar, who is on a five-day visit to China as a guest of top Chinese legislator Wu Bangguo. Gantar is also scheduled to meet with Wu on Monday.
