Li also told Dominguez that Beijing is happy to see Latin American nations get stronger through concerted efforts, and would like to strengthen cooperation with Argentina to take China's relations with these countries to a higher level.

Dominguez told the Chinese premier that China's development has brought a huge opportunity for his country.

Argentina sees China as an important cooperation partner and is firmly committed to developing ties with the country, he said.

He added that Argentina wants to deepen comprehensive cooperation with China and push forward the strategic partnership to a new stage.

Dominguez also met Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, on Sunday morning.

"China places great importance on developing relations with Argentina," Zhang said.

Zhang said the NPC has always placed importance on strengthening friendly cooperation with the Argentine Congress.

He also expressed China's readiness to further step up exchanges of experience in the areas of legislation and national governance.

He called for the legislatures of the two countries to carry out an in-depth dialogue on issues of common interest.

Such dialogue could play a unique role in enhancing mutual trust, advancing practical cooperation and deepening the friendship between the two peoples, Zhang said.
