During their talks in Bucharest on Monday, both sides agreed to continue facilitating the exchange of delegations at all levels, especially at high levels, through the Party, State, Government, parliamentary and people-to-people exchange channels to further strengthen political trust and mutual understanding, laying a foundation to expand bilateral cooperation in all areas.
Considering economic, trade and investment ties as a crucial pillar in bilateral relations, the two PMs vowed to advance them commensurate with their political ties.
They urged for more effective cooperation in traditional areas such as education-training, sci-tech, national defence-security, culture-sports-tourism, labour, health care and pharmaceuticals, while expanding collaboration in new fields, including information technology, innovation, digital transformation, green transition and circular economy.
The two sides affirmed their commitment to continued sharing of experience and mutual support at multilateral forums and international organisations, for peace, security, cooperation and development in the region and the world.
Both PMs underscored the importance of settling disputes through peaceful means, without the use or threat to use force, and in accordance with international law.
