Top legislator Wu Bangguo met in Beijing Tuesday with visiting Mongolian President Nambaryn Enkhbayar, calling for further parliamentary exchanges.

Wu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), said the NPC is ready to enhance friendly relations with the State Great Hural, parliament of Mongolia.

He also called on leaders, special committees and goodwill groups between the two parliaments to promote exchanges and cooperation so as to increase mutual understanding between the two peoples and boost bilateral relations.

Hailing the long-term development of bilateral relations, Wu said the traditional friendship and reciprocal cooperation not only conform to the fundamental interests of both peoples, but also benefit regional peace, stability and development.

Wu said China will work with the Mongolian side to enhance dialogue and cooperation in various fields.

Enkhbayar highlighted the sound development of Mongolia-China good-neighborly partnership of mutual trust, saying during his visit he exchanged views with Chinese leaders on bilateral relations and regional situation and the two sides signed ten cooperative documents, which are expected to pose a far-reaching influence on bilateral relations.

China's development has brought enormous opportunities to Mongolia which will step up its cooperation with China in such fields as trade and economy in a bid to achieve common development, Enkhbayar said.

Enkhbayar expressed his willingness to expand parliamentary exchanges between the two countries.
