China's senior advisor Luo Haocai met on Tuesday with former Mauritian President Karl Offman to exchange ideas on deepening bilateral relations and expanding cooperation in various fields.
Luo, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said China would like to enlarge cooperation with Mauritius in the fields of the economy, trade, transportation and culture, and hope the China-Mauritius traditional ties could be updated under the framework of China-Africa cooperation forum.
Luo also briefed Offman about China's economic and social development in recent years and applauded Offman's contributions to his country and the China-Mauritius friendship when he was in office from 2002 to 2003.
Echoing Luo's remarks, Offman said Mauritius would like to serve as a bridge linking Asia and Africa, and to act as a platform for Chinese investment into the African market.
Offman is in Beijing as a guest of the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs.
