President Hu Jintao on Friday concluded his state visit to
Mozambique and left Maputo for Victoria, capital of Seychelles.
In Maputo, Hu held talks with Mozambican President Armando
Emilio Guebuza. They had an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral
relations as well as major global and regional issues of common
concern and reached broad consensus.
During Hu's visit, the two sides signed accords on a partial
relief of Mozambique's debts to China, the construction of
Mozambique's national stadium and the establishment of an
agricultural technology demonstration center in Mozambique, among
other things.
The Chinese-Mozambican ties have enjoyed sound development since
the two countries established diplomatic relations 31 years ago. In
recent years, the two countries have had mutually beneficial
cooperation in infrastructure construction, agriculture and other
areas.
Seychelles, an archipelago country in the west Indian Ocean, is
the last leg of Hu's ongoing eight-nation Africa tour. Before
Mozambique, Hu visited Cameroon, Liberia, Sudan, Zambia, Namibia
and South Africa.
