Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Sunday met with his counterpart from Republic of Korea (ROK) Han Seung Soo on sidelines of the Beijing Paralympic Games.
Wen extended a welcome to Han, who attended the opening ceremony of the Paralympics on Saturday, and thanked ROK for its support to the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics.
"ROK President Lee Myung-bak's presence at the Beijing Olympics and your attendance at the Paralympics showcased your country's support on Beijing's hosting of the two games," Wen said.
"I hope the staging of the Paralympics will draw more people's attention to the undertaking of the disabled, spread love and promote friendship," Wen said.
Han said China managed to put on a successful Olympics in the wake of an 8.0-magnitude earthquake that devastated China's western province of Sichuan on May 12.
He attributed the Olympics to China's excellent leadership and great people and wished a complete success for the Beijing Paralympics.
