Other items include the procedures for the agreement to take effect, to be enacted and terminated.

 

Chinese Lawmakers discussed the 25-article treaty at the 27th session of the NPC Standing Committee held in Beijing from April 24-27.

 

China and Namibia share a strong traditional friendship and the two sides have seen a boom in bilateral cooperation in political, economic, cultural, diplomatic and military fields, Wu Dawei, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs told Chinese legislators during the legislative session.

 

Since 1993, China has signed extradition treaties with more than 20 countries, including Thailand, Laos, Belarus and South Africa.
