DAR ES SALAAM, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Tanzanian Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda and visiting Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu have expressed satisfaction with bilateral ties, vowing further efforts to boost the cooperation between the two countries.

Hui conveyed greetings and good wishes to Pinda from Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao during the talks held here on Wednesday, saying China treasures the friendly ties forged by leaders of generations of the two countries.
