Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday met with President of the Socialist International(SI) George Papandreou on promoting the world's sustainable development.
Papandreou was leading a 15-member delegation to Beijing for a sustainable growth seminar co-sponsored by the Communist Party of China(CPC) and the SI.
Li, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, reviewed the increasing exchanges since the CPC and the SI started their exchanges in 1982.
"Jointly holding a seminar on sustainable growth signifies a positive step for both sides to deepen strategic dialogue," Li said.
The seminar, scheduled for Friday, will address how to work together to deal with climate change and other environmental challenges.
Li briefed Papandreou on the country's efforts to tackle the international financial crisis and seek sustainable development.
Li said the CPC valued the ties with the SI and its member parties and called for increased cooperation and deeper dialogue.
Papandreou said the Socialist International would like to seek more dialogue and cooperation with the CPC to promote sustainable development worldwide.
