Mlambo-Ngcuka expressed gratitude for the measures taken by China to balance the bilateral trade as well as China's assistance on the human resources exploration.

 

She said South Africa hoped to establish a developing partnership with China and learn more experience from China.

 

She reaffirmed South Africa would continue to adhere to the one-China policy.
