BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua )-- China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng on Friday met with President of the Mauritanian Economic and Social Council (ESC) Mohamed Ould Haimer.

Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), highlighted the healthy and smooth development of China-Mauritania ties since the two countries forged diplomatic ties in 1965, citing fruitful cooperation in all fields.

China thanked Mauritania for supporting China on Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang, human rights and other issues concerning the country's core interests, Yu said.

The CPPCC would like to work with the ESC of Mauritania to carry out exchanges and promote bilateral relations, Yu said.

Haimer expressed condolences to the families of casualties in Saturday's devastating earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Haimer thanked China for offering assistance and support to his country and said the ESC of Mauritania will work with its Chinese counterpart to boost country-to-country relations.
