China and Gabon signed a pact on economic and technological cooperation here Friday in an effort to push for more and better cooperation in large-scale projects.
The agreement was signed after visiting Chinese top legislator Wu Bangguo held talks with Gabonese President El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba in the presidential palace here.
Wu said that economic cooperation served as the foundation for bilateral ties and that both sides were paying more and more attention to this.
Both sides should try to take advantage of the complementarity of their economies by turning it into huge economic achievement, Wu said.
He said that cooperation in large-scale projects in mineral production, power production and gymnasium construction should be further strengthened by hastening the pace of their initial phases, expressing the hope that these projects will become new bonds between the two economies.
Bongo said that relations with China had been a high priority on Gabon's foreign relations' agenda and that more progress should be made on the agreed large-scale projects.
Bongo said the two countries should cooperate in a wider and deeper scale, pushing for further progress in bilateral ties.
Gabon is Wu's second leg of his five-African nations tour. He finished his two-day visit to Algeria Thursday. He will visit Ethiopia, Madagascar and Seychelles.
